The gustatory competence of the lingual epithelium requires neonatal innervation
(Elsevier, 1993-04-16)
The rat vallate papilla is bilaterally innervated by the IXth nerve whose axons are required for the normal development of its several hundred taste buds. Temporary denervation during the developmental sensitive period for ...
A rapid attenuation of muscarinic agonist stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis precedes receptor sequestration in human SH-SY-5Y neuroblastoma cells
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
Agonist occupancy of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in human SH-SY-5Y neuroblastoma cells elicited two kinetically distinct phases of phosphoinositide hydrolysis when monitored by either an increased mass of inositol ...
Repeated haloperidol increases both calmodulin and a calmodulin-binding protein in rat striatum
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
Repeated treatment with the antipsychotic drug, haloperidol, leads to an increased behavioral sensitivity to dopamine agonists exhibited upon withdrawal from the drug. An increase in the particulate content of the endogenous ...
Substitution of D-Trp 32 in NPY Destabilizes the Binding Transition State to the Y1 Receptor Site in SK-N-MC Cell Membranes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-04)
The retention rate of the spin label 3-isothiocyanto methyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyl oxyl spin label (proxyl) attached to the porcine N-acetyl-NPY peptide and the porcine N-acetyl-D-Trp 32 -NPY peptide at Lys 4 ...
The rate and locus of development of rat vallate taste buds
(Elsevier, 1991-02-22)
Several hundred taste buds develop and mature in the trench walls of the rat's vallate papilla during the first 3 months after birth. The objective of this investigation of taste bud development was to determine: (i) whether ...
Differential expression of metabotropic glutamate receptors in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex of the rat
(Elsevier, 1994-02)
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) have been implicated in a number of hippocampal functions including learning and memory. Five subtypes have been molecularly and pharmacologically characterized. Using in situ ...
Progesterone modulation of gonadotropin secretion by dispersed rat pituitary cells in culture. IV. Follicle-stimulating hormone synthesis and release
(Elsevier, 1993-02)
Estradiol-treated, rat pituitary cells were studied to examine the effects of progesterone (P) on follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesis and secretion. Progesterone was administered prior to or concurrent with 3 h ...
Corticotropin releasing hormone is involved in exercise-induced elevation in core temperature
(Elsevier, 1994)
To determine the involvement of corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) in exercise-induced elevation in core temperature of female rats, CRF antibody or vehicle was injected intracerebroventricularly (ICV) into rats that had ...
Expression of Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Transgenes in Neurons of Adult and Developing Mice
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
The DNA sequences important for cell-specific expression and developmental regulation of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) were analyzed in transgenic mice. A construct containing 0.5 kb of CRH 5' flanking DNA linked ...
