Effects of fluoxetine on weight gain and food intake in smokers who reduce nicotine intake
(Elsevier, 1991)
The effect of fluoxetine hydrochloride, a 5-HT uptake inhibitor (60 mg/day PO), in preventing weight gain associated with nicotine reduction was investigated in participants in a double-blind, placebo-controlled smoking-cessation ...
Cloning and expression of the A 2a adenosine receptor from guinea pig brain
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
A full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) clone encoding the guinea pig brain A 2 adenosine receptor has been isolated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and low-stringency-hybridization screening of a guinea pig brain cDNA ...
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, ...
Callitachykinin I and II, two novel myotropic peptides isolated from the blowfly, Calliphora vomitoria, that have resemblances to tachykinins
(Elsevier, 1994)
Two peptides, related to the locust myotropic peptides locustatachykinin I-IV, were isolated from the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria. Whole, frozen flies were used for extraction with acidified methanol. A cockroach hindgut ...
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 ...
Distribution and regulation of the candidate prohormone processing enzymes SPC2 and SPC3 in adult rat brain
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
A number of candidate mammalian prohormone processing enzymes related to the yeast Kex2 endoprotease have been cloned and demonstrated to cleave several prohormone precursors at single, pairs and tetra basic amino acid ...
Prodynorphin-derived peptide expression in primate cortex and striatum
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
The distributions of four prodynorphin-derived peptides, dynorphin A (1-17), dynorphin A (1-8), dynorphin B, and [alpha]-neo-endorphin were determined in 10 cortical regions and the striatum of the old world monkey (Macaca ...
Characterization of pro-opiomelanocortin processing in heterologous neuronal cells that express PC2 mRNA
(Elsevier, 1993-05)
We have investigated processing of monkey pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) following transfection into heterologous neuronal Neuro 2A (N2A) cells. In several separately transfected stable cell lines (termed N2A/POMC2-like; N = ...
