Administration of apomorphine and amphetamine induces climbing behavior in mice due to stimulation of brain dopamine receptors. In the present study, the effects of adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on amphetamine-induced climbing have been investigated. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of different doses of amphetamine (2,4 and 8 mglkg) induced climbing in mice (p<O.OOO 1). The u2- ad...

Fifteen fungal and three bacterial biological control agents (F-BCA B-BCA, respectively) were isolated from the canola production areas of Western Australia to investigate their potential for controlling sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum under in vitro field conditions. The capacity these isolates inhibit mycelial growth sclerotia formation S. was assessed dual cultu...

Myocardial ischaemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury is a well-known term for exacerbation of cellular destruction and dysfunction after the restoration blood flow to previously ischaemic heart. A vast number studies that have demonstrated role mineralocorticoids in cardiovascular diseases based on use pharmacological mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists. This review paper aimed summarize curre...

The effects and interaction between cAMP-analogue dibutyryl-cAMP and calmodulin antagonists were investigated on de novo synthesis and secretion of lipids in cultures of hepatoma McArdle-RH7777 cells and normal rat hepatocytes. Dibutyryl cAMP caused a significant decrease in the secretion of de novo synthesized triacyl [3H] glycerol in both cultures of McArdle cells and rat hepatocytes. The ...
