anxiolytic effects of progesterone are sexually dimorphic.we evaluated the effects of progesterone administration to estrogen-primed rats on licking behavior during a lick suppression test. this test assesses the behavior of water-deprived rats to lick a drinking tube for water reinforcement that is paired to electric shock. chlordiazepoxide (a commonly used tranquilizer) is very effective in increasing licking during this test. normal females and neonatally castrated males displayed an increase in shock-punished responses in tests conducted after horm ...19862871472
chronic treatment with iprindole reduces immobility of rats in the behavioural 'despair' test by activating dopaminergic mechanisms in the brain.iprindole, 10 mg kg-1 i.p., once daily for 21 days, enhanced the metabolism of dopamine in the frontal cortex and striatum of rats with no effect in the nucleus accumbens 1 h after the last injection. noradrenaline metabolism in the brainstem and telencephalon was also increased in these conditions. no effect on dopamine or noradrenaline metabolism was seen 24 h after the last injection. the same repeated treatment schedule with iprindole markedly reduced the immobility of rats in the behavioura ...19862872301
5-(2-cyclohexylideneethyl)-5-ethyl barbituric acid (cheb): correlation of hypnotic and convulsant properties with alterations of synaptosomal 45ca2+ influx.male icr mice (20-35 g) were given either 5-(2-cyclohexylideneethyl)-5-ethyl barbituric acid (cheb) alone (10-15 mg/kg i.p.) or cheb (25-75 mg/kg i.p.) after a 1 h pretreatment with phenobarbital (75 mg/kg i.p.). cheb alone (10 mg/kg) produced excitatory behavior but not convulsive seizures. higher doses (11-15 mg/kg) produced convulsive seizures resulting in death. pretreatment with phenobarbital prevented seizure activity. following phenobarbital pretreatment, cheb in doses of 50 and 75, but n ...19862875881

[the expression of c-myb is strongly associated with the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in breast cancer].the c-myb gene was studied in 112 breast cancers. c-myb and estrogen receptor (er) transcripts were found in 78 (70%) and 71 (63%) cancers respectively. of these 71 er positive cancers, 64 (90%) contained c-myb transcripts and of the 41 er negative cancers, 27 (66%) did not contain c-myb mrna. our data show that c-myb transcripts are strongly associated with er and progesterone receptors (p less than 10(-4) status in breast cancer. thus the c-myb expression could be associated with breast cancer ...20102907731
improved sexual function in hemodialysis patients on recombinant erythropoietin: a possible role for prolactin.as it was reported that correction of anemia in long-term hemodialysis patients by recombinant human erythropoietin (r-huepo) is associated with improved sexual function, we conducted the present study to further delineate the mechanism(s) by which this is brought about. serum prolactin, testosterone, and parathyroid hormone (pth) levels were followed during 4 months of r-huepo therapy. within 4 months of treatment with r-huepo, hematocrit values rose from 23.7 +/- 1.2 to 35.7 +/- 0.2% and hemog ...19892914405
arthrodesis of metatarsophalangeal joints in a dog.chronic osteomyelitis and septic arthritis involving the 3rd and 4th metatarsophalangeal joints were diagnosed in a doberman pinscher. arthrodesis of the 3rd and 4th metatarsophalangeal joints resulted in a subtle persistent gait abnormality, but limb function was preserved. arthrodesis of metatarsophalangeal joints is an alternative to amputation, especially when main weight-bearing digits are involved.19892914800
uptake of 63ni2+ in the central and peripheral nervous system of mice after oral administration: effects of treatments with halogenated 8-hydroxyquinolines.oral administration of 63ni2+ to mice resulted in higher levels of the metal in the sciatic nerves, the trigeminal ganglia, spinal nerve roots and the spinal cord than in the cerebellum and the frontal cortex. in the sciatic nerves, the trigeminal ganglia and the spinal nerve roots a high vascular permeability may explain the preferential uptake of the 63ni2+. the higher accumulation of the 63ni2+ in the spinal cord than in the examined structures of the brain may be related to a diffusion from ...20102916242

functional significance of the kunitz-type inhibitory domains of lipoprotein-associated coagulation inhibitor.blood coagulation can be initiated when factor vii or viia, a plasma protease, binds to its essential cofactor, tissue factor (tf), and proteolytically activates factors ix and x, triggering a cascade of events which eventually leads to the formation of thrombin and a fibrin clot. plasma contains a lipoprotein-associated coagulation inhibitor (laci) which inhibits activated factor x (xa) directly and, in a xa-dependent way, inhibits vii(a)/tf activity, presumably by forming a quaternary xa/laci/ ...20102927510
three potassium currents in mouse motor nerve terminals.a study of the k conductance of the presynaptic membrane has been performed in the triangularis sterni muscle of the mouse. external currents generated in the presynaptic terminals upon invasion by action potentials have been recorded using microelectrodes inserted into the perineurium of preterminal nerve bundles. the voltage-dependent k current could be pharmacologically dissected into fast (ikf) and slow (iks) components. while both are sensitive to 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-dap), only ikf is ...19892928092

plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations during induction of anesthesia and acute volume loading in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.induction of anesthesia with fentanyl for coronary artery bypass grafting decreased (p less than .05) plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (anp) concentrations from awake values in twelve patients. during a steady state of anesthesia before surgery, isotonic saline solution (10 ml/kg) was infused simultaneously with the elevation of the lower extremities in six patients, while six subjects served as controls receiving no volume loading and having no leg raising. the anp levels returned to the awake ...20102980951
middle tumor antigen of polyomavirus transformation-defective mutant ng59 is associated with pp60c-src.we have found that lysis of mouse embryo cells infected with the polyomavirus host range transformation-defective (hr-t) mutant ng59 under gentle conditions that avoid ionic detergents results in detectable ng59-encoded middle tumor antigen (mtag) associated with pp60c-src. this mtag-pp60c-src complex could be immunoprecipitated from ng59-infected cell lysates by either sera from animals bearing polyomavirus-induced tumors or by monoclonal antibodies directed against mtag. immune complex kinase ...19852981329
serologic survey of rotavirus, norwalk agent and prototheca wickerhamii in wastewater workers.analysis of paired sera from 48 wastewater workers and controls who reported gastrointestinal illness did not reveal any excess of seroconversions to norwalk agent or to rotavirus. inexperienced wastewater-exposed workers had higher levels of antibody to norwalk agent than did experienced and control workers and those with high and medium aerosol exposure had higher titres than those in the low aerosol category. analysis for prototheca antibody titres was essentially negative.19852981485
immunologic characterization of herpes simplex virus type 2 antigens icp10 and icsp11/12.infected cell protein 10 (icp10) or antigen 4 (ag4) and infected cell-specific protein 11/12 (icsp11/12) have been suggested as specific antigenic markers for cervical carcinoma. experiments were designed to determine whether icp10 and icsp11/12 are distinct antigens and to determine the cellular localization of icp10. results indicate that an apparent 160 kdalton (kda) protein analyzed by 8.5% polyacrylamide gels (= 144 kda protein analyzed by 7.0% polyacrylamide gels) was detected in hsv-2-inf ...19852988230
induction of cellular dna synthesis by a simian virus 40 mutant defective in nuclear transport of t antigen.the simian virus 40 (sv40) (ct)-3 mutant [sv40(ct)-3], which is defective in nuclear transport of t antigen, was utilized to determine whether cellular dna synthesis can be stimulated by sv40 in the absence of detectable nuclear t antigen. cellular dna synthesis was examined in the temperature-sensitive cell cycle mutants, bhk ts13 and bhk tsaf8, after microinjection of quiescent cells with plasmid dna containing cloned copies of wild-type sv40 or sv40(ct)-3. the efficiency of induction of cellu ...19852993869
