Expression of prodynorphin-derived peptides and mRNA in guinea-pig cortex
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
The distributions and extent of processing of four prodynorphin-derived peptides (dynorphin A (1-17), dynorphin A (1-8), dynorphin B, and [alpha]-neoendorphin) were determined in ten regions of the cortex as well as in the ...
Current perspectives in the treatment of small cell lung cancer
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
Neither chemotherapy nor radiotherapy alone is adequate to treat both bulky local disease and the almost universal distant micrometastases of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Despite improved overall and 2-year survival rates ...
S1.23 Investigation of the sialyltransferases present in two populations of ehrlich ascites tumor cells
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman & Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-08)
Short-Term Adrenalectomy Increases Glucocorticoid and Mineralocorticoid Receptor mRNA in Selective Areas of the Developing Hippocampus
(Elsevier, 1993-10)
In the central nervous system, adrenal steroids bind to two different types of corticosteroid receptors: glucocorticoid (GR) or mineralocorticoid (MR). In vitro biochemical and autoradiographic techniques have been used ...
Effects of trichlorobenzene on natural phytoplankton populations
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman & Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-12)
Natural phytoplankton assemblages from an offshore station in Lake Michigan were exposed to individual isomers of trichlorobenzene (TCB) and incubated in situ for a 24 h period. One set of exposures was initiated with a ...
Use of an Inhibitor of Glucosylceramide Synthesis, D-1-Phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1 -propanol
(Elsevier, 1993-10)
Methods for the synthesis, purification, and use of an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthesis (PDMP or D-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol) are given. The inhibitor is effective with a variety of cells and ...
Distinguishing between depression and dementia in the elderly: A review of neuropsychological findings
(Elsevier, 1993)
Distinguishing between cognitive deficits seen in depression and progressive dementing, diseases is complex and often difficult clinically. We review recent neuropsychological studies comparing normal elderly individuals, ...
CSF somatostatin in Alzheimer's disease and major depression: Relationship to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and clinical measures
(Elsevier, 1993)
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and major depression have been shown to have overlapping clinical symptoms and biological markers, including decreased concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) somatostatin-like ...
4-Aminopyridine reduces chorda tympani nerve taste responses to potassium and alkali salts in rat
(Elsevier, 1993-05-28)
To study the potential role of potassium channels in the taste response to potassium salts, we applied 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) to the anterior rat tongue and recorded chorda tympani nerve taste responses to chemical stimuli. ...
