Pmn-18: The Effect of Ambient Air Pollution on Infertility
Development disorders may be arisen from the unavoidable maternal exposure to particulate air pollution during the prenatal life that can be affected not only periconceptional period but also postnatal life. A kind of chemical material categorized as air pollutants are present in the urine, blood and semen of exposed men and may decline sperm count and affect sperm quality. Environment toxic ca...

Adenylyl cyclase is a membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP. The inhibition of adenylyl cyclase was carried out by measuring the ability of the macrophage chemotactic protein-1 to inhibit the forskolin-induced enzyme activity. Measurement of adenylyl cyclase activity was performed according to the procedure described by Wiegn. Adenylyl cyclase activity in the pres...
متن کاملRegulation of adenylyl cyclase isozymes on acute and chronic activation of inhibitory receptors.
Adenylyl cyclase superactivation, a phenomenon by which chronic activation of inhibitory Gi/o-coupled receptors leads to an increase in cAMP accumulation, is believed to play an important role as a compensatory response of the cAMP signaling system in the cell. However, to date, the mechanism by which adenylyl cyclase activity is regulated by chronic exposure to inhibitory agonists and the natu...
متن کاملPerinatal cocaine exposure impairs myocardial beta-adrenoceptor signaling in the neonatal rat.
UNLABELLED Cardiac dysfunction occurs in infants with prenatal cocaine exposure, and gestational cocaine exposure induces presynaptic and postsynaptic changes in the central monoaminergic receptor pathways. The hypothesis of this study is that prenatal cocaine exposure adversely affects the peripheral adrenergic receptor (betaAR) signaling pathway in the neonatal rat heart. Timed pregnant rats ...
متن کاملBasal signaling activity of mu opioid receptor in mouse brain: role in narcotic dependence.
Narcotic analgesics cause addiction by poorly understood mechanisms, involving mu opoid receptor (MOR). Previous cell culture studies have demonstrated significant basal, spontaneous MOR signaling activity, but its relevance to narcotic addiction remained unclear. In this study, we tested basal MOR-signaling activity in brain tissue from untreated and morphine-pretreated mice, in comparison to ...
