During sleep, warm-blooded animals exhibit cyclic alternations between rapid-eye-movement (REM) and nonrapid-eye-movement (non-REM) states, characterized by distinct patterns of brain activity apparent in electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings coupled with corresponding changes in physiological measures, including body temperature. Recently we have shown that urethane-anesthetized rats displa...
Urethane ([carbonyl-(14)C]ethyl carbamate) is a fermentation by-product in alcoholic beverages and foods and is classified as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. Early studies indicated that while CYP2E1 is involved, esterases are the primary enzymes responsible for urethane metabolism. Using CYP2E1-null (KO) mice, current studies were undertaken to elucidate CYP2E1's contribution ...
Abdominal aortic pressure (AAP), heart rate (HR), and aortic nerve activity (ANA) during parabolic flight were measured by using a telemetry system to clarify the acute effect of microgravity (microG) on hemodynamics in rats. While the animals were conscious, AAP increased up to 119 +/- 3 mmHg on exposure to microG compared with the value at 1 G (95 +/- 3 mmHg; P < 0.001), whereas AAP decreased...
AIMS A functional interaction between the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system and noradrenergic neurons in the brain has been suggested. In the present study, we investigated the interrelationship between the central CRF-induced elevation of plasma catecholamines and adrenoceptor activation in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) using urethane-anesthetized rats. MAIN...
Novel poly(ester-urethane)s were prepared by a synthetic route using a lipase that avoids the use of hazardous diisocyanate. The urethane linkage was formed by the reaction of phenyl carbonate with amino acids and amino alcohols that produced urethane-containing diacids and hydroxy acids, respectively. The urethane diacid underwent polymerization with polyethylene glycol and α,ω-alkanediols and...
The acute effects of arginine vasotocin (AVT), a putative pineal peptide, on plasma levels of prolactin were investigated in the unanesthetized, estrogen-progesterone-treated male rat. A 10-microgram s.c. injection resulted in significantly increased levels of prolactin while a 1-microgram injection depressed plasma levels of this hormone; an inhibition of release was further suggested by incre...
Brain oscillations are critical for cognitive processes, and their alterations in schizophrenia have been proposed to contribute to cognitive impairments. Network oscillations rely upon GABAergic interneurons, which also show characteristic changes in schizophrenia. The aim of this study was to examine the capability of hippocampal networks to generate oscillations in a rat model previously sho...
Memory is believed to depend on activity-dependent changes in the strength of synapses, e.g. long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), which can be determined by the sequence of coincident pre- and postsynaptic activity, respectively. It remains unclear, however, whether and how coincident activity of converging efferent pathways can enable LTP and LTD in the pathways simulta...
An antimuscarinic therapy may increase the risk of voiding dysfunction. However, it is unclear whether the relative risk of voiding dysfunction is different among antimuscarinics. Therefore we determined the potencies both in enhancing the bladder capacity (BC), effectiveness, and in decreasing the maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), voiding dysfunction, to compare their therapeutic indices.Under...
In the present study, the possible effect of sodium valproate (NaVP) on urethane-induced lung tumors in female mice has been evaluated. BALB/c mice (n = 60; 4-6 weeks old, females) were used in the following groups: (1) urethane-treated; (2) urethane-NaVP-treated; (3) only NaVP-treated; (4) control. In the same groups, ovariectomized female mice (n = 60) were investigated. Urethane was given in...
