Improved culture of individual muscle fibres with and without spinal cord explants in a collagen gel
(Elsevier, 1985)
Suspension culture of single adult rat flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscle fibres in Vitrogen, a purified collagen, on tissue culture plastic or glass with mesh ring supports is superior to culture upon other substrates ...
The effects of menstrual phase and nicotine abstinence on nicotine intake and on biochemical and subjective measures in women smokers: a A preliminary report
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
Nicotine intake, menstrual and smoking withdrawal symptomatology, and baseline cortisol and MHPG were assessed in nine women smokers under conditions of ad lib smoking and overnight abstinence in three menstrual phases ...
Collateral sprouting of nociceptive C-fibers after cut or capsaicin treatment of the sciatic nerve in adult rats
(Elsevier, 1988-08-01)
The innervation area of nociceptive C-fibers in the saphenous nerve of adult rats was detected by the Evans blue technique, in which antidromic excitation of the nociceptive C-fibers causes a visible extravasation of dye ...
Sustained striatal ciliary neurotrophic factor expression negatively affects behavior and gene expression in normal and R6/1 mice
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-06)
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an elongation of CAG repeats in the HD gene, which encodes a mutant copy of huntingtin with an expanded polyglutatmine repeat. Individuals who are ...
Stabilization of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) reaction product at the electron microscopic level by ammonium molybdate
(Elsevier, 1988-10)
The ability to use the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) method for studying neuronal connections at the electron microscopic level is often difficult because the conditions of osmification and dehydration used in processing the ...
Inhibition of polyphosphoinositide phosphodiesterase by aminoglycoside antibiotics
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1985-08)
The calcium-activated phosphodiesteratic hydrolysis of 32 P-labeled phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate in prelabeled nerve ending membranes is inhibited by the aminoglycosides neomycin ...
Phase relations between carotid pressure and ongoing electrocortical activity
(Elsevier, 1983-08)
The behavioral significance of changes in the cardiovascular system has been a major source of controversy in psychophysiology. In view of this, it is surprising that so few studies have examined the relationship between ...
Role for calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in coupling muscle activity to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene expression in rat
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-06-05)
Neurally evoked muscle electrical activity suppresses nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) gene expression in extrajunctional domains of adult muscle fibers. It has been proposed that this regulation is mediated by ...
Central injection of substance P elicits grooming behavior and motor inhibition in mice
(Elsevier, 1979-04)
Substance P undecapeptide (SP) was injected into the lateral ventricles of adult male Swiss-Webster mice. Two behaviors were observed after peptide. SP increased grooming in a naloxone non-reversible manner and reduced ...
Progesterone: Examination of its postulated inhibitory actions on lordosis during the rat estrous cycle
(Elsevier, 1976-09)
Three experiments tested whether the inhibitory effects of progesterone could be of physiological significance in regulating the duration of behavioral estrus in female rats. In animals displaying 5 day estrous cycles, a ...
