Anticonvulsant activity of cyclopentano amino acids
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1980-01)
The hypothesis that certain amino acid analogues possessing a five-membered ring structure or amino acid analogues that can be viewed as fragments derived from such a ring would have anticonvulsant activity was proposed ...
Expression of Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Transgenes in Neurons of Adult and Developing Mice
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
The DNA sequences important for cell-specific expression and developmental regulation of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) were analyzed in transgenic mice. A construct containing 0.5 kb of CRH 5' flanking DNA linked ...
Lipid peroxidation and membrane aging
(Elsevier, 1984)
This critique points out that a number of possible alterations in cell metabolism could lead to changes in membrane structure and that the observed effects might not necessarily play a primary role in the physiology of ...
Age-dependent changes in the specificity of tRNA methyltransferases in the cerebellum of the icteric and nonicteric Gunn rat
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1979-10)
The activity of tRNA methyltransferases present in the cerebellum of 6- and 21-day-old nonicteric and icteric Gunn rats was compared using purified E. coli tRNAs as substrates. At 6 days the tRNA methyltransferases of the ...
Protein Kinase Inhibitors Block Neurite Outgrowth from Explants of Goldfish Retina
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-10)
A role for protein phosphorylation in the process of neurite outgrowth has been inferred from many studies of the effects of protein kinase inhibitors and activators on cultured neurotumor cells and primary neuronal cells ...
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 ...
Explant culture of adult goldfish retina: A model for the study of CNS regeneration
(Elsevier, 1979-01-26)
Conditions are described for culture of retinal explants of adult goldfish which favour outgrowth of neuritic processes onto a substratum. A growth index to quantitate the outgrowth was developed. If the optic nerve is ...
The stereospecificity of the inositol receptor of the silkworm Bombyx mori
(Elsevier, 1971-10-08)
The specificity of the `sugar-sensitive' hair (Ss-I) in the silkworm to the 9 isomers of myo-inositol was studied electrophysiologically. Of the 9 isomers only myo-, epi- and allo-inositol receptor activity. Using various ...
Effect of temperature on rate of goldfish optic nerve regeneration: A radioautographic and behavioral study
(Elsevier, 1977-06-17)
Optic nerve regeneration was examined in goldfish radioautographically, as well as by a variety of behavioral measures of visual function. The rate of regeneration was markedly enhanced by increasing temperature above the ...
