1. The cardiovascular effects after intracerebroventricular injections of substance P were investigated in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto and in spontaneously hypertensive rats. 2. Substance P increased blood pressor in both rat strains. Wistar-Kyoto rats responded with moderate, dose-dependent blood pressure increases, and heart rate decreased; spontaneously hypertensive rats showed two- to three-f...

Introduction: Similarities in the memory impairment between Alzheimer patients and scopolamine treated animals have been reported. In the present study, the possible role of α-adrenergic receptors of the dorsal hippocampus on scopolamine state-dependent memory in adult male Wistar rats was evaluated. Methods: The animals were bilaterally implanted with chronic cannulae in the CA1 regions of the...

A Na(+)-dependent bile acid (Na+/taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide; Ntcp) and a Na(+)-independent bromosulphophthalein (BSP)/bile acid uptake system (organic-anion-transporting polypeptide; oatp) have been cloned from rat liver by using functional expression cloning in Xenopus laevis oocytes. To evaluate the extent to which these cloned transporters could account for overall hepatic bile...

Bile secretion is regulated by different signaling transduction pathways including protein kinase C (PKC). However, the role of different PKC isoforms for bile formation is still controversial. This study investigates the effects of PKC isoform selective activators and inhibitors on PKC translocation, bile secretion, bile acid uptake, and subcellular transporter localization in rat liver, isola...

The bandwidth-intensive applications on Smart-Mobile-Devices (SMDs) are increasing with SMD's colossal growth. overlapped cellular and non-cellular networks, in hot-spot-places, SMDs capabilities significant reasons for this interfaces-RAT (Radio-Access-Technology) can have complementary link characteristics. end-users avail always-best-connectivity (ABC) their RAT This paper proposes an Integr...

Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) and mesencephalic astrocyte-derived (MANF) are involved in neuroprotection mitigating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress the brain peripheral organs. In earlier work, an increase histone acetylation, following treatment with epigenetic modulator, valproic acid, was associated induction of CDNF MANF cultured cells rat brain. These findings prompted inv...

Introduction: There are many similarities between memory impairment in patients suffering from Alzheimer and animals treated by Cannabinoids. The agonists of Cannabinoid receptors affect on a variety of memories and leanings. The present study aims to investigate the role of α-1-adrenergic receptors in central region of amygdala in state-dependent learning induced by WIN55,212-2 (cannabinoid ag...

Background: Saline is still the most widely used storage and rinsing solution for vessel grafts during cardiac surgery despite knowing evidence of its negative influence on human endothelial cell function. Aim this study was to assess effect DuraGraft©, an intraoperative graft treatment solution, saphenous vein segments further elaborate vasoprotective rat aortic in comparison saline. Methods: ...
