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 ...
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 ...
Asymmetry in the effects of unilateral 6-OHDA lesions on eating and drinking evoked by hypothalamic stimulation
(Elsevier, 1985-05)
The present experiment investigated the effects of unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the caudate nucleus and nucleus accumbens on eating and drinking evoked by electrical stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus (ESLH). ...
Sweet tooth reconsidered: Taste responsiveness in human obesity
(Elsevier, 1985-10)
Taste responses of normal-weight, obese, and formerly obese individuals for sucrose and fat containing stimuli were examined using a mathematical modelling technique known as the Response Surface Method. The subjects ...
Products of cultured neuroglial cells: II. The production of fibronectin by C6 glioma cells
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1985-05)
The possibility of fibronectin production by C6 glioma cells was examined with assays which require protein synthesis. Proteins produced by C6 cells using radiolabeled amino acid precursors were tested for affinity to ...
The comparative distribution of enkephalin, dynorphin and substance P in the human globus pallidus and basal forebrain
(Elsevier, 1985-04)
Three neuropeptides, enkephalin, dynorphin, and substance P appear in the globus pallidus in a unique pattern termed woolly fibers as described previously [Haber and Nauta (1983) Neuroscience 9, 245-260]. The comparative ...
Vision in goldfish following bilateral tectal ablation
(Elsevier, 1985-12)
Visual sensitivity of optic tectum-ablated goldfish was investigated using a classical conditioning technique. Intact fish were screened to obtain individuals which showed suppression of breathing movements in response to ...
Assessment of membrane permeability in primary cultures of neurons and glia in response to osmotic perturbation
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1985)
In primary cultures of neurons and astrocytes from rat brain, the cellular contents of K + and Na + were used to assess plasma membrane permeability in response to osmotic shock. In contrast to trypan blue exclusion, the ...
Muscarinic cholinergic receptors in human infant forebrain: [3H]Quinuclidinyl benzilate binding in homogenates and quantitative autoradiography in sections
(Elsevier, 1985-04)
The ontogeny of muscarinic receptors in human brain was studied by comparing [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB) binding in postmortem tissue from infants 1 week to 3 months of age with binding in adult specimens. ...
Adenosine uptake sites in rat brain: Identification using [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine and co-localization with adenosine deaminase
(Elsevier, 1985-03-22)
The binding characteristics of [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine ([3H]NBI) to rat brain membrane preparations was examined, and the autoradiographic distribution of this ligand in brain sections was compared with the immunohistochemical ...
