The cellular localization and neurochemical phenotype of cells expressing the GAT-1 GABA transporter was investigated in the adult rat dorsal striatum using single and dual in situ hybridization and immunocytochemical techniques. Cellular sites of GAT-1, GAD67, and parvalbumin mRNAs were visualized using a combination of radioactive and alkaline phosphatase-labeled oligonucleotides and emulsion...

Objective(s): Kisspeptin and opioids are important factors for controlling GnRH/LH secretion. In present study, influences of kisspeptin or morphine were investigated on 5α- reductase or aromatase (CYP19) genes expression in the hypothalamus, testis and liver. It aimed to investigate whether kisspeptin pathway may control morphine effects on plasma concentration of tes...

Introduction: It has been reported the alkaline response of pancreas to duodenal acidification is partly mediated through duodenal release of H2S, but till now the effect of duodenal acidification on gastric H2S release has not been investigated. Therefore, the present study designed to evaluate the effects of duodenal acidification on gastric H2S release and level of mRNA expression of cys...

the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of tetramethlpyrazine on oxazolone-induced colitis mice. spleen mononuclear cells (smc), lamina propria mononuclear cells (lpmc) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) were isolated from oxazolone-induced colitis and normal mice. the colitis cells treated by oxazolone were randomly divided into model, low dos...
