The rate and locus of development of rat vallate taste buds
(Elsevier, 1991-02-22)
Several hundred taste buds develop and mature in the trench walls of the rat's vallate papilla during the first 3 months after birth. The objective of this investigation of taste bud development was to determine: (i) whether ...
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 ...
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 ...
Characterization of [beta]-endorphin-related peptides in the caudal medulla oblongata and hypothalamus of the prenatal, postnatal and adult rat
(Elsevier, 1991-09-19)
A comparison was made of [beta]-endorphin (B-END) concentrations versus post-translation products during the perinatal period in the hypothalamus and the caudal medulla oblongata. The concentration of B-END-like immunoreactivity ...
Effects of single and repeated electroconvulsive therapy sessions on plasma ACTH, prolactin, growth hormone and cortisol concentrations
(Elsevier, 1991)
To study the effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on hormone release, we measured circulating concentrations of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), prolactin (PRL), growth hormone (GH) and cortisol (CORT) immediately ...
Nucleotide sequence and expression of the mouse corticotropin-releasing hormone gene
(Elsevier, 1991-06)
The mouse corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) gene has been isolated and characterized by DNA sequence analysis. The gene exhibits a structural organization similar to that of the human, rat, and ovine genes with two ...
Quantitative in vivo receptor binding IV: Detection of muscarinic receptor down-regulation by equilibrium and by tracer kinetic methods
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-09)
Newly-developed methods for estimation of in vivo binding to neurotransmitter receptors should enable the detection and quantification of physiologic or pathologic changes in receptor numbers. In the present study, both ...
