متن کاملThe effect of glutaminergic system on cardiovascular regulation of rat
Introduction: The bed nucleus stria terminalis (BST) is a part of the limbic system, which plays a role in regulation of heart beat and blood circulation. It was recently shown that microinjection of L-glutamate in the BST elicits cardiovascular depressive, but the role of glutamate receptor subtypes has not been investigated yet. In this study, the role of glutamate receptor subgroups in regul...

One of the goals of medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery is to provide a rationalbasis for the design of new medicinal agents. Organic compounds and their reactions have beenutilized by people since antiquity. Due to the increasing demand for bioactive molecules, organicchemists are increasingly required to synthesize new compounds of biological interest. AsBenzimidazoles are very us...
متن کاملCardiovascular mortality in transient ischemic attacks.
Statistical analyses were made of the mortality of persons diagnosed as having definite TIA in an epidemiologic survey of a biracial Southern community. None of the usual risk factors associated with this illness such as heart disease, hypertension or diabetes appears to account for the excess deaths observed in a 10 year period of follow up.
متن کاملCardiovascular and thermal responses to intravenous endotoxin in guinea pigs.
Changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and heat balance during febrile response to E. coli endotoxin were studied in unanesthetized guinea pigs at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees C. The heat balance was measured with direct and indirect calorimetry. An intravenous injection of endotoxin (5 micrograms X kg-1) produced characteristic biphasic changes in the intra-aortic temperature (Tar), he...
