Temporal pattern of C1q deposition after transient focal cerebral ischemia
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-04)
Recent studies have focused on elucidating the contribution of individual complement proteins to post-ischemic cellular injury. As the timing of complement activation and deposition after cerebral ischemia is not well ...
Glycine Protection of PC-12 Cells Against Injury by ATP-Depletion
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-06)
A distinctive mechanism of cell injury during ATP depletion involves the loss of cellular glycine. The current study examined whether provision of glycine during ATP depletion can prevent injury in PC-12 cells, a cell line ...
The binding of somatostatin to the mouse retina is altered by the pearl mutation
(Elsevier, 1990-07-09)
Pearl mutants have a night-blind phenotype and abnormal optokinetic nystagmus. Preliminary results from another study14 showed that the light responses of retinal ganglion cells of pearl mutant mice were affected by bathing ...
Peripheral sympathectomy and adrenal medullectomy do not alter cerebrospinal fluid norepinephrine
(Elsevier, 1986-03-05)
Despite a blood-brain barrier for norepinephrine, the concentration of norepinephrine in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid has been observed to be similar. This relationship between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid norepinephrine ...
Localization and characterization of somatostatin binding sites in the mouse retina
(Elsevier, 1989-01-02)
We studied the binding of [125I]Tyr11-somatostatin-14 and [125I]Leu8,-Trp22, Tyr25-somatostatin-28 to frozen, unfixed sections of C57BL/6J mouse eyes with autoradiography. Specific binding of both ligands occurred in 3 ...
Stimulation of glucose utilization and glycosaminoglycans production by fibroblasts derived from retrobulbar tissue
(Elsevier, 1971-11)
Cultures of fibroblasts derived from human retrobulbar tissue responded to the presence of living lymphocytes with increased release of glycosaminoglycans to the media and accelerated glucose utilization. At times the ...
Direct plasmid mediated transfection of adult murine brain cells in vivo using cationic liposomes
(Elsevier, 1994-02-14)
Gene transfer to the central nervous system (CNS) is complicated by the anatomic and physiologic isolation of the brain. Direct injection techniques circumvent this, and allow delivery of transgenes to specific areas of ...
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), ...
The pattern of growth hormone secretion during the menstrual cycle in normal and depressed women
(Blackwell, 2005)
Objective
Major depression is associated to altered hypothalamic pituitary function. Stress is linked to elevated cortisol as well as menstrual cycle disturbance; however, there is no known relationship between depression ...
