Glucosylceramide in the nervous system - A mini-review
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
A reviewer of this manuscript has recommended that I warn the reader that the hypotheses offered here do not have enough experimental support to make them widely accepted.
Pulsatile LH secretion in women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS): Evidence for normal neuroregulation of the menstrual cycle
(Elsevier, 1992)
The premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has been proposed to result from excessive exposure to and/or withdrawal of brain opioid activity during the luteal phase. Because hypothalamic opioids are believed to modulate GnRH secretion, ...
Metabolic diversity of aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from a petroleum-contaminated aquifer
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-12)
We characterized bacteria from contaminated aquifers for their ability to utilize aromatic hydrocarbons under hypoxic (oxygen-limiting) conditions (initial dissolved oxygen concentration about 2 mg/l) with nitrate as an ...
Asymmetric cross-sensitization to the locomotor stimulant effects of phencyclidine and MK-801,
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
Chronic administration of a psychomotor stimulant has been shown to produce progressively enhanced effects, a phenomenon called "reverse tolerance" or sensitization. Sensitization which develops to the psychomotor stimulant ...
Wortmannin Blocks Goldfish Retinal Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase and Neurite Outgrowth
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-04)
The goldfish retina has been used extensively for the study of nerve regeneration. A role for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in neurite outgrowth from goldfish retinal explants has been examined by means of wortmannin ...
Cloning and characterization of a pharmacologically distinct A1 adenosine receptor from guinea pig brain
(Elsevier, 1994-10)
Three full-length cDNA clones encoding the guinea pig A1 adenosine receptor have been isolated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and low-stringency hybridization screening of a guinea pig brain cDNA library. These three ...
Characterization of [beta]-endorphin-related peptides in the caudal medulla oblongata and hypothalamus of the prenatal, postnatal and adult rat
(Elsevier, 1991-09-19)
A comparison was made of [beta]-endorphin (B-END) concentrations versus post-translation products during the perinatal period in the hypothalamus and the caudal medulla oblongata. The concentration of B-END-like immunoreactivity ...
The Role of the Hippocampal Mineralocorticoid and Glucocorticoid Receptors in the Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis of the Aged Fisher Rat
(Elsevier, 1994-10)
The aging process has been frequently associated with hippocampal neuredegeneration, loss of corticosteroid receptors, and, at the same time, dysfunction of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. We were interested ...
Cyclic AMP accumulation alters calmodulin localization in SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
In SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells, the muscarinic agonist carbachol promotes polyphosphoinositide (PPI) hydrolysis via M3 receptors and increases cyclic AMP levels through an unidentified mechanism. Activation of PPI ...
