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 ...
Muscarinic cholinergic receptors in human infant forebrain: [3H]Quinuclidinyl benzilate binding in homogenates and quantitative autoradiography in sections
(Elsevier, 1985-04)
The ontogeny of muscarinic receptors in human brain was studied by comparing [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB) binding in postmortem tissue from infants 1 week to 3 months of age with binding in adult specimens. ...
Effect of glycine and glycine receptor antagonists on NMDA-induced brain injury
(Elsevier, 1989-12-15)
In postnatal day 7 rats, a unilateral intrastriatal injection of 12.5 nmol of (NMDA) reproducibly injures the ipsilateral striatum, adjacent hippocampus and overlying cortex. The severity of injury can be quantified by ...
Angiogenesis in developing rat brain: An in vivo and in vitro study
(Elsevier, 1985-12)
Brain capillary proliferation in postnatal rats was measured in vivo by [3H]thymidine autoradiography. Maximal capillary proliferation occurred between 5 and 9 postnatal days, and was 40 times greater than in the adult. ...
