Arachidonic acid (AA) has recently been shown to influence various cellular functions in the central nervous system. Here we report that AA increases, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, 2-deoxy-D-[1-3H]glucose ([3H]2DG) uptake in primary cultur ...
The distribution of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) binding sites in the pigeon brain was examined by in vitro autoradiography on slide-mounted sections. A fully characterized monoiodinated form of VIP, which maintains the biological activity of the na ...
A novel mouse homeobox-containing gene, Nkx-2.2, has been isolated. Nkx-2.2 is a member of a family of genes whose homeodomains are homologous to that of the Drosophila NK-2 gene. Nkx-2.2 transcripts are found in localized domains of the brain during mouse ...
The distribution of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) binding sites in the brain of several vertebrate species was examined by in vitro autoradiography on slide-mounted sections. This study included fish, frog, snake, pigeon, rat, mouse, guinea pig, cat ...
VIP-containing cells in the neocortex are intrinsic neurons of the bipolar type, which release VIP through mechanisms that involve Ca2+ and lipoxygenase metabolites. VIP receptors are coupled to cAMP-generating systems that are amplified by various neurotr ...
Asymmetry in brain modulation of the immune system has been previously described. In mice, paw preference has been shown to be associated with immune reactivity but the mechanisms involved in such an association are not yet known. The autonomic nervous sys ...
K+, at concentrations reached in the extracellular space during neuronal activity (5-10 mM), promotes a time- and concentration-dependent hydrolysis of [3H]glycogen newly synthesized by mouse cerebral cortical slices. In the present study, the glycogenolyt ...
Neurotransmitters are the molecules that neurons use to communicate with each other and with the other cell types of the nervous system, such as glial cells and cells of the vasculature. The best characterized actions of neurotransmitters are the alteratio ...
The distribution of VIP binding sites in rat kidney and adrenal gland has been examined by light microscopic autoradiography. A fully characterized mono-iodinated molecular form of VIP (M-125-I-VIP) which maintains the biological activity of the native pep ...
In rodent cerebral cortex, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is contained in a homogeneous population of radially oriented bipolar interneurons. We have observed that 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), a K+-channel blocker, promotes a concentration- and Ca2+-depend ...
