Systemic administration of mk-801 protects against in perinatal rats
(Elsevier, 1990)
MK-801, a non-competitive antagonist of glutamate receptors, was tested for its ability to antagonize excitotoxic actions of or quisqualic acid injected into the brains of seven-day-old rats. Stereotaxic injection of ...
The glutamate analogue quisqualic acid is neurotoxic in striatum and hippocampus of immature rat brain
(Elsevier, 1986-10-30)
To assess the neurotoxic properties of the glutamate agonist quisqualic acid (QA) in immature brain, we injected this compound (100 nmol QA/l [mu]l) directly into the striatum of 7-day-old rats. QA produced neuronal necrosis ...
Interferon-Γ inhibits DNA synthesis and insulin-like growth factor-II expression in human neuroblastoma cells
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1993-04-01)
Interferon-Γ (IFN-Γ) is known to be an antiproliferative, differentiation agent in many cell types, including neuroblastoma. In this study, we determined the effects of IFN-Γ on cellular growth and expression of insulin-like ...
Pulsatile LH secretion in women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS): Evidence for normal neuroregulation of the menstrual cycle
(Elsevier, 1992)
The premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has been proposed to result from excessive exposure to and/or withdrawal of brain opioid activity during the luteal phase. Because hypothalamic opioids are believed to modulate GnRH secretion, ...
Resistance to nitroprusside neurotoxicity in perinatal rat brain
(Elsevier, 1994-05-19)
Nitric oxide (NO) may mediate some of the toxic effects of the excitatory amino acid (EAA) glutamate when there is overactivation of the (NMDA) receptor. In the developing rodent nervous system, NMDA neurotoxicity peaks ...
Perceptions Held by Obese Children and their Parents: Implications for Weight Control Intervention
(Sage Publications, 1988)
The study was designed to identify some of the psychosocial barriers to compliance in a hospital-based weight control intervention program for adolescents. Forty obese adolescents, 10 to 16 years of age, and their parents ...
Hypoxia-ischemia produces focal disruption of glutamate receptors in developing brain
(Elsevier, 1987-07)
We examined the impact of a perinatal hypoxic-ischemic insult on the distribution of glutamate receptors in developing brain. We used a well characterized rodent model for perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, unilateral ...
A Scale for Assessing Health Care Providers' Teaching and Communication Behavior Regarding Asthma
(Sage Publications, 1997)
Partnership between health care providers and patients is important for controlling illness. A limited number of studies show how to assess health professionals' communication and partnering behavior. The relationship ...
HA-996 (1-hydroxy-3-aminopyrrolidone-2) selectively reduces (NMDA)-mediated brain damage
(Elsevier, 1989-09-25)
The neuroprotective effects of the strychnine-insensitive glycine receptor antagonist, HA-966, against (NMDA)- and quisqualate (QA)-mediated brain injury were determined in perinatal rats. Postnatal day (PND) 7 rats ...
The Role of the Hippocampal Mineralocorticoid and Glucocorticoid Receptors in the Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis of the Aged Fisher Rat
(Elsevier, 1994-10)
The aging process has been frequently associated with hippocampal neuredegeneration, loss of corticosteroid receptors, and, at the same time, dysfunction of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. We were interested ...
