Mecamylamine pretreatment increases subsequent nicotine self-administration as indicated by changes in plasma nicotine level
(Springer-Verlag, 1987-09)
Acute administration of mecamylamine, a centrally active nicotinic cholinergic agonist, has been shown to increase amount of smoking as indicated by smoking topography (e.g., puff rate, puff duration), expired carbon ...
Endocrine and physiological changes during "spontaneous" panic attacks
(Elsevier, 1987)
Eight patients with DSM-III-defined panic attacks were compared to four normal subjects on hormonal and physiological variables measured at six predetermined times through 24 hr and also during nine "spontaneous" attacks. ...
Comparison of acute and chronic lithium treatment on 3 H-norepinephrine uptake by rat brain slices
(Springer-Verlag, 1980-01)
The effects of lithium chloride, given IP in high (2.5–15 mEq/kg) and low (1.25 mEq/kg) doses twice daily, upon 3 H-norepinephrine uptake and retention were examined with slices from four regions of the rat brain, namely ...
Neuroregulatory effects of nicotine
(Elsevier, 1989)
The impact of nicotine on the central nervous system is, in an important sense, neuroregulatory, with cascading effects on physiological and biochemical function as well as on behavioral activity. Accordingly, the ...
Analysis of opioid and non-opioid end products of pro-dynorphin in the substantia nigra of the rat
(Elsevier, 1985-02)
The substantia nigra is among the richest pro-dynorphin terminal field regions in the rat brain. We therefore contrasted processing in this area to the known processing in the posterior pituitary. Fractionation of acid ...
In situ hybridization histochemistry with synthetic oligonucleotides: Strategies and methods
(Elsevier, 1985)
In situ hybridization histochemistry is a useful method for localizing specific mRNA and studying the regulation of gene expression in an anatomical context. Previously, classical recombinant DNA and microbiological ...
MSG effects on beta-endorphin and alpha-MSH in the hypothalamus and caudal medulla
(Elsevier, 1988)
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) was given to neonatal male rats to determine its effects on neurons containing beta-endorphin ([beta]-END) and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone ([alpha]-MSH) within the basal hypothalamus ...
Anatomical and biochemical studies of the opioid peptides and related substances in the brain
(Elsevier, 1980)
It is now clear that there are at least four opioid peptide-neuronal systems in mammalian brain: the enkephalins, beta-endorphin and dynorphin. The focus of this presentation will be twofold--to focus on the multiple ...
Combined autoradiographic-immunocytochemical analysis of opioid receptors and opioid peptide neuronal systems in brain
(Elsevier, 1985)
Using adjacent section autoradiography-immunocytochemistry, the distribution of [3H]naloxone binding sites was studied in relation to neuronal systems containing [Leu]enkephalin, dynorphin A, or [beta]-endorphin immunoreactivity ...
Changes in releasability of ACTH and Beta-endorphin with chronic stress
(Elsevier, 1985-02)
The activation of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis by stress is well-known. Using inescapable intermittent footshock as a stressor in rats, we have previously demonstrated a rise in circulating plasma Beta-endorph ...
