| effects of gestational exposure to phencyclidine: distribution and neurochemical alterations in maternal and fetal brain. | phencyclidine is a widely used drug of abuse and is known to produce a wide variety of psychoactive effects. pcp abuse by pregnant women has been reported to result in the birth of infants exhibiting irritability, jitteriness and hyperactivity with high pitched cries. the present study was designed to evaluate the distribution of pcp in the maternal and fetal brain and the neurochemical effects produced by gestational exposure. pregnant sprague-dawley rats were treated sc with 5 mg/kg pcp on 3 c ... | 1989 | 2576301 |
| identification of type i iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase as a selenoenzyme. | a 27.8 kda membrane selenoprotein was previously identified in rat thyroid, liver and kidney, the tissues with the highest activities of type i iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase. this membrane enzyme catalyzes the deiodination of l-thyroxine to the biologically active thyroid hormone 3,3',5-triiodothyronine. a decrease in the activity of this enzyme, observed here in the liver of selenium-deficient rats, was found to be due to the absence of a selenium-dependent membrane-bound component. by chemical a ... | 1990 | 2268318 |
| antibiotic therapy for bacillus species infections. | we reviewed 36 cases of culture-proven bacillus species ocular infections occurring between september 1974 and december 1989. kirby-bauer disk sensitivities were available in 34 of the 36 cases (95%). all bacillus species isolates were sensitive to the aminoglycoside antibiotics (n = 34) and to vancomycin hydrochloride (n = 32); resistance to clindamycin was found in four of 18 (22%) of tested isolates. although b. cereus was uniformly sensitive to these antibiotics, resistance to clindamycin oc ... | 1990 | 2248335 |
| peptide regulation of adrenal medullary function. | the discovery of peptides in the splanchnic nerve and adrenal gland, and their co-existence with conventional neurotransmitters raises questions about their possible functional roles in catecholamine (ca) secretion and gene transcription in the adrenal gland. short-term, stress-induced ca secretion is regulated biphasically by substance p (sp) which inhibits acetylcholine (ach) action at sp greater than 10(-6) m and facilitates ca secretion in response to metabolic and physical stressors, ach or ... | 1990 | 1694230 |
| inhibition of nitric oxide synthase blocks n-methyl-d-aspartate-, quisqualate-, kainate-, harmaline-, and pentylenetetrazole-dependent increases in cerebellar cyclic gmp in vivo. | the synthesis of nitric oxide by brain slices has been demonstrated in several laboratories. in addition, in vitro studies have demonstrated stimulation of nitric oxide synthesis by excitatory amino acid receptor agonists. these data have led to the hypothesis that this readily diffusible "intercellular messenger molecule" acts to generate a cascade effect by activating guanylate cyclase in several cell types and thereby augment levels of the second messenger cyclic gmp (cgmp). therefore, we eva ... | 1990 | 1693947 |
| lack of pqq dependent glucose dehydrogenase apoenzyme in some acinetobacter spp. | seventy four asaccharolytic strains of acinotobacter were tested for the presence of pqq dependent glucose dehydrogenase apoenzyme. this apoenzyme could not be detected in any of five strains of acinetobacter haemolyticus; it was also lacking in one strain of each a. junii and a. lwoffi. | 1990 | 2176072 |
