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 ...
Selective effect of alcohol on cellular immune responses of lymphocytes from AIDS patients
(Elsevier, 1994)
In this study we examined the in vitro effects of alcohol on the proliferative responses of lymphocytes from healthy donors and AIDS patients to a recombinant fusion peptide, env-gag, corresponding to portions of the gp ...
Short-Term Adrenalectomy Increases Glucocorticoid and Mineralocorticoid Receptor mRNA in Selective Areas of the Developing Hippocampus
(Elsevier, 1993-10)
In the central nervous system, adrenal steroids bind to two different types of corticosteroid receptors: glucocorticoid (GR) or mineralocorticoid (MR). In vitro biochemical and autoradiographic techniques have been used ...
CSF somatostatin in Alzheimer's disease and major depression: Relationship to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and clinical measures
(Elsevier, 1993)
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and major depression have been shown to have overlapping clinical symptoms and biological markers, including decreased concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) somatostatin-like ...
Changes at multiple levels of the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis following repeated electrically induced seizures
(Elsevier, 1990)
Seizures, including electrically induced seizures (ECS), activate the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in rats. The present studies were undertaken to characterize the effects of repeated ECS on hormone release and ...
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 ...
In Vitro release of hypothalamic [beta]-endorphin [beta]E by arginine vasopressin, corticotropin-releasing hormone and 5-hydroxytryptamine: Evidence for release of opioid active and inactive [beta]E forms
(Elsevier, 1990-05)
The aims of the present experiments were: 1) to test whether substances which modulate beta-endorphin-immunoreactive [beta]E-ir release from the pituitary gland might act similarly in hypothalamic tissue; and 2) to further ...
