Effect of an Antagonist of Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide on Biological Rhythm of Rest Activity in the Rat
Abstract Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP), has been found in different neurotransmitter systems and exists in various nerve tracts in the brain. Potential role of this peptide in physiological processes such as regulation of sleep and wakefulness, and biological rhythms has been confirmed in several reports. In the present research effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of a...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of Silver nanoparticles from Cinnamomum tamala leaf extract and its antibacterial potential
The novel approach has been carried for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using leaf extract of Cinnamomum tamala and silver nitrate solution. The optimal condition for synthesizing Ag-NPs was obtained by varying the leaf extract concentration, temperature, AgNO3 concentration, effect of ratio of leaf extract to AgNO3 solution,pH and reaction time. The f...
متن کاملPurification of vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor from porcine liver by a newly designed one-step affinity chromatography.
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors were solubilized from porcine liver membrane using the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid. The solubilized VIP receptor has been purified approximately 50,000-fold to apparent homogeneity by a one-step affinity chromatography using a newly designed VIP-polyacrylamide resin. The purified receptor boun...
متن کاملCharacterization of functional receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in rat peritoneal macrophages.
Functional vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors have been characterized in rat peritoneal macrophages. The binding depended on time, temperature and pH, and was reversible, saturable and specific. Scatchard analysis of binding data suggested the presence of two classes of binding sites: a class with high affinity (kd = 1.1 +/- 0.1 nM) and low capacity (11.1 +/- 1.5 fmol/10(6) cells), a...
متن کاملControllable Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Citrate as Complexing Agent: Characterization of Nanopartciles and Effect of pH on Size and Crystallinity
A method for the controllable synthesis of silver nanoparticles based on a complexing agent method was developed. Citric acid was used as a complexing agent. The effect of pH (1.6 to 5.17) on the size and net height (as obtained from XRD analyses) of silver nanoparticles was investigated. The nanoparticles (10 to 40 nm) were characterized using XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, UV-Vis spectrosco...
