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 ...
Gene expression of the insulin-like growth factors and their receptors in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
Insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF I and II) are polypeptides with both growth-promoting and insulin-like metabolic effects16,27. Immunoreactive IGF I is present in the retina14 and both IGF I and II are present in ...
Gene expression of the insulin-like growth factors and their receptors in human neuroblastoma cell lines
(Elsevier, 1992-10)
Insulin-like growth factors (IGF) I and II are polypeptides with both growth-promoting and insulin-like metabolic effects. The developmentally specific expression of IGF I and II in the nervous system implies a role for ...
Tissue-specific expression of the human neuropeptide Y gene in transgenic mice
(Elsevier, 1992-06)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is the most abundant neuropeptide detected in the mammalian brain, and is found throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. This peptide is a proposed regulator of appetite, blood pressure, ...
Isolation and expression of the Drosophila drosulfakinin neural peptide gene product, DSK-I
(Elsevier, 1992-08)
The Drosophila drosulfakinin (dsk) gene encodes the cholecystokinin homologues drosulfakinin-I (DSK-I) and drosulfakinin-II (DSK-II). The naturally occurring DSKI peptide was isolated from an extract of adult flies and its ...
Molecular and electrophysiological characterization of a allelic variant of the rat [alpha]6 GABAA receptor subunit
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
A 1.45 kb DNA sequence encoding the rat [alpha]6 GABAA receptor subunit (nucleotides 33-1483) was clonedfrom a Sprague-Dawley rat brain cDNA library by PCR amplification. Dideoxy sequencing of two individual clones revealed ...
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, ...
Cyclic AMP accumulation alters calmodulin localization in SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
In SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells, the muscarinic agonist carbachol promotes polyphosphoinositide (PPI) hydrolysis via M3 receptors and increases cyclic AMP levels through an unidentified mechanism. Activation of PPI ...
Discordant changes in plasma ACTH and [beta]-lipotropin/[beta]-endorphin levels in Clshing's disease patients with depression
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
Cushing's Disease is often associated with a depressive syndrome, with mood, vegetative, and cognitive abnormalities of variable severity. In 11 patients with (pituitary ACTH-dependent) Cushing's disease (10 women, 1 man), ...
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the effect of imipramine on TRH-induced urinary urgency in healthy men
(Elsevier, 1992)
We studied the effect of imipramine (IMI) on thyroid releasing hormone (TRH)-induced urinary urgency as a way of investigating the mechanism of the beneficial effect of IMI on enuresis. In a double-blind study, 12 normal, ...
