Toxicty of a Serotonin-derived Neuromelanin
(2010)Introduction: POCD (Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction) is associated with increased mortality and disability and may develop as a consequence of lipid peroxidative byproducts (i.e. acrolein), which accumulate with aging. ... -
Effects of Isoflurane on Plasma-Membrane Calcium ATPase
(2010-03)Introduction: Plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) is a transmembrane enzymatic protein present in human neurons, myocytes, and RBCs which plays a role in controlling cellular Ca2+ levels by regulating intracellular ATP. ... -
Regulation of Phosphorylation of Dopamine D3 Receptors in Mouse Striatal Neurons in vivo
(2010-03)Introduction: Dopamine D3 receptors (D3Rs) are G-protein-coupled receptors. These D3Rs inhibit adenylyl cyclase and the downstream formation of cAMP. Due to their preferential expression in the mesolimbic areas, especially ... -
Amphetamine Alters Group I mGluR Expression in the Rat Striatum and Medial Prefrontal Cortex
(2010-03)Introduction: Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1/mGluR5 subtypes) and their key scaffolding protein Homer1b/c are densely expressed in the striatum. These receptors are believed to play important roles in ... -
Amphetamine Alters Acid-Sensing Ion Channel Expression in the Rat Striatum
(2010-03)Introduction: The acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC) is specifically activated by a drop in the extracellular pH level. These channels are widely expressed in mammalian brains and actively modulate synaptic transmission and ... -
Chronic Fibrotic Changes in Experimental Pulmonary Embolization in the Rat Model
(2010-03)Introduction: Fat embolism, a subclinical event, occurs in many clinical settings, such as long bones fractures, liposuction and during cardiopulmonary bypass. Some cases, especially with trauma, result in fat embolism ... -
Clearing the hurdles for nanotechnology: In vivo inhalation effects
(2010-03)INTRODUCTION: Nanoparticles of many types have been created for industrial and medical applications. Among these nanoparticles, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are of high interest for their physicochemical properties ...
