  Excessive extracellular glutamate may induce excitotoxic neuronal damage in disorders of the CNS (Schwartz et al., 2003). EAATs are considered to contribute to prevention of excitotoxicity by glutamate uptake. Our data revealed that expression levels of membrane EAAT proteins in astrocytes are much

  To assess whether this coupling mechanisms might operate also in a native system of untransfected cells, we select a cell line SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma that is known to express both the dopamine transporter and the M-currents (Jiang et al., 2004; Wickenden et al., 2008). These experiments were performe

  2022-06-23

  

  Historically, a role for the prefrontal cortex in spatial working memory has been repeatedly claimed (for review, see Kolb, 1984). Older studies using traditional, non-fibre-sparing lesions (e.g. aspiration lesions) often resulted in spatial alternation deficits. In contrast, more recent studies emp

  Here we studied the effects of BZ flurazepam (FZ) at high doses in acute and chronic settings of tolerance and dependence in GluR-A−/− mice (Zamanillo et al., 1999). We used measurements in which the phenomenon of “learning while intoxicated” should play only a minor role in order to find out the si

  It is important to control hyperglycaemia because it can contribute to serious complications. Hyperglycaemia can be managed by maintaining stable blood glucose levels inside the normal range. This can be achieved by various strategies such as diet, medications and exercise (O’Keefe & Bell, 2007). Se

  Overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression testing (DST) of the BclI polymorphism carriers found them to have lower cortisol levels, suggesting an increased sensitivity to GCs with respect to the transrepression effect of cortisol on the POMC gene of the corticotroph pituitary cells [28]. The exact me

  A small conductance chloride channel (SCC) In addition to the above-described channels, a 5pS SCC has been encountered in electrophysiological recordings. This channel, exhibiting long periods of opening separated by long intervals of closing, showed the same characteristics as the SCC described

  Based upon the present findings, it is tempting to imagine that selective, and especially stable blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetrating GalR1 antagonists might be useful as drugs for acute suppression of appetite. While this may be possible, previous studies using nonspecific galanin antagonists yiel

  2022-06-22

  

  Cellular inhibition is caused by the hyperpolarization of the cell and is mediated by both synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAARs. Synaptic GABAARs are sensitive to high concentrations of GABA released at the synapse and mediate phasic inhibition. In contrast, extrasynaptic GABAARs mediate tonic inhibit

  We note that zinc speciation at 0 and 2 mol. equiv. of myristate is already markedly different; this means that FFAZn2+ crosstalk is in operation under normal physiological conditions. At present, there are few data to allow tracking of the effects of such physiological crosstalk, although there are

  Considering together the conformational, docking and SAR results of this and of previously published papers, a three points pharmacophore model can be developed considering the indispensable residues of SRSRY derived antagonists, namely Arg89, Arg91 and Tyr92. This model is shown in Fig. 10, and req

  Sirolimus (rapamycin) and everolimus, both of which are mTOR inhibitors, are released by commonly used first- and second-generation DES. Considering the relatively high rates of the target vessel failure with currently available DES [12,14,16,45,46], there is a need for a novel drug strategy that pr

  2022-06-22

  

  PKC potentiates insulin release in beta cells; however, it is currently not clear how this is mechanistically accomplished in living energy metabolism [15]. First, we discuss PKC structure, regulation, and activation in beta cells. Then, we address two fundamental questions: (1) what is the specific

  Within a live organism, cells need to transfer information to each other. Exocytosis is one of the critical mechanism which releases variety of ligands into the extracellular space. When cells export material via exocytosis, they first pack into vesicles, then cause the vesicles to tether at the pla

  Results Discussion Previous studies have shown that all the components of ET system are expressed by various neuronal and non-neuronal structures throughout the CNS (McCumber et al., 1990; Giaid et al., 1991). In effect, endothelin-converting enzyme activity, mRNA, ET-1 and ET-3 immunoreactivi
