The NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 increases morphine catalepsy and lethality
(Elsevier, 1991-03)
Interactions between excitatory amino acids and opioids were examined by studying the ability of the noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist MK-801 to affect morphine catalepsy and lethality. MK-801 ...
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 ...
Distribution of D2 dopamine receptor mRNA in the primate brain
(Elsevier, 1991)
1. The distribution of the messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the D2dopamine receptor has been mapped in the monkey brain by hybridization.2. Using [35s]-labelled riboprobes corresponding to the region of the D2 dopamine ...
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 ...
Sweet taste preference in women smokers: Comparison with nonsmokers and effects of menstrual phase and nicotine abstinence
(Elsevier, 1991-12)
Cigarette smokers weigh less than comparably aged nonsmokers, and many gain weight following cessation. Though some evidence suggests that nicotine reduces food intake, with a selective effect on sweet-tasting foods, the ...
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 ...
