Phenelzine produces subsensitivity to nicotine
(Elsevier, 1993-09)
Dilsaver, Steven C., Meenatshisundanan Hariharan, Robin K. Davidson: Phenelzine Produces Subsensitivity to Nicotine. Prog. Neuro-Psychopharmacol. & Biol. Psychiat. 1993, 17(5): 847-860. 1. 1. The authors attempted to ...
Multiple steroid hormone levels in depressed patients and normal controls before and after exogenous ACTH
(Elsevier, 1991)
Forty depressed patients and 36 age- and sex-matched controls were given 250 [mu]g ACTH1-24 by bolus. Plasma steroid hormone levels were measured prior to and 60 min after ACTH administration. The depressed patients had ...
Continued search for the cellular signals that regulate regeneration of dopaminergic neurons in goldfish retina
(Elsevier, 1993-12-17)
Intraocular injections of low doses (0.7-1.4 mM estimated intraocular concentration) of 6-hydroxydopamine (6OHDA) selectively destroy dopaminergic neurons in the inner nuclear layer (INL) of goldfish retina, and they never ...
Electrophysiological actions of VIP in rat somatosensory cortex
(Elsevier, 1991)
Electrophysiological and biochemical studies suggest that VIP may exert a facilitating action in the neocortical local circuitry. In the present study, we examined the actions of VIP and VIP + norepinephrine (NE) on ...
Nicotine may relieve symptoms of Parkinson's disease
(Springer-Verlag, 1994-09)
Two elderly patients with Parkinson's disease were treated with nicotine gum and patch. Reliable changes in symptomatology were noted, using a single-subject, placebo-control reversal design. Improvement was associated ...
c-Myc Does Not Require Max for Transcriptional Activity in PC-12 Cells
(Elsevier, 1994-06)
The c-Myc proto-oncogene is a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (b/HLH/LZ) protein that participates in cellular growth and differentiation. The expression of cMyc mRNA is rapidly induced by nerve growth factor (NGF) ...
Distribution of D2 dopamine receptor mRNA in the primate brain
(Elsevier, 1991)
1. The distribution of the messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the D2dopamine receptor has been mapped in the monkey brain by hybridization.2. Using [35s]-labelled riboprobes corresponding to the region of the D2 dopamine ...
In Vitro release of hypothalamic [beta]-endorphin [beta]E by arginine vasopressin, corticotropin-releasing hormone and 5-hydroxytryptamine: Evidence for release of opioid active and inactive [beta]E forms
(Elsevier, 1990-05)
The aims of the present experiments were: 1) to test whether substances which modulate beta-endorphin-immunoreactive [beta]E-ir release from the pituitary gland might act similarly in hypothalamic tissue; and 2) to further ...
[kappa]1 Receptor mRNA Distribution in the Rat CNS: Comparison to [kappa] Receptor Binding and Prodynorphin mRNA
(Elsevier, 1994-04)
Three opioid receptor types have been identified in the CNS and periphery that are referred to as [mu], [delta], and [kappa]. The present study examines the mRNA distribution of the [kappa]1 receptor in the rat brain and ...
The influence of environment on the induction of sensitization to the psychomotor activating effects of intravenous cocaine in rats is dose-dependent
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1998-04)
The acute psychomotor response and development of sensitization to amphetamine is attenuated if IP injections are given in the cage where a rat lives relative to when injections are given in a novel but physically identical ...
