The success of the acaricide amitraz, a ligand of the tick tyramine/octopamine receptor (a G protein-coupled receptor; GPCR), stimulated interest on arthropod-specific GPCRs as targets to control tick populations. This search advances tick physiology because little is known about the pharmacology of
Influences of hyper- and hypothyroidism on MAOI (tranylcypromine) were studied by measuring the effects on rectal temperature and 5-HT, 5-HIAA and norepiniphrine levels and tyramine uptake in the brain. Hyperthyroidism was accomplished in rats injected with triiodothyronine 0.2 mg/kg i.p. every two
Intravenous injections of different doses of tyramine induced hypothermia in the pigeon in the cold and a moderate hyperthermia in the warm environment. The hypothermia was correlated with a dose-dependent decline in shivering. Hyperthermia was attributed to the chrono- and inotropic effects of
The cattle fever tick, Rhipicephalus microplus (Canestrini) (Acari: Ixodidae), is a one-host tick that infests primarily cattle in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. This species transmits deadly cattle pathogens, especially Babesia spp., for which a recombinant vaccine is not
The southern cattle tick (Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus) is a hematophagous external parasite that vectors the causative agents of bovine babesiosis or cattle tick fever, Babesia bovis and B. bigemina, and anaplasmosis, Anaplasma marginale. The southern cattle tick is a threat to the livestock
In this study we provide a molecular and biochemical identification of two arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferases (aaNAT) from Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. N-acetyldopamine, the enzyme product of aaNAT, was detected in Ae. aegypti, indicating the presence of an aaNAT in this mosquito. A BLAST search of
Biogenic amines are formed in foods as a result of amino acid decarboxylation catalyzed by bacterial enzymes. When consumed in sufficient quantities, these compounds will cause headache, hypertension, fever, and heart failure. Technologies such as vacuum packaging and carbon dioxide-modified
The effects of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injections of sympathomimetic drugs on thermoregulatory functions in conscious rats maintained at low (8 decrees C), moderate (22 degrees C), and high (30 degrees C) ambient temperatures were assessed. Norepinephrine, tyramine, and ephedrine each
Intraventricular administration of either norepinephrine, tyramine or angiotensin II produced dose-dependent hypothermia, decreased metabolism and lowered cutaneous temperatures in Taiwan monkeys at ambient temperatures of 4 and 22 degrees C. The hypothermia reflected the heat storage consequent to
The ability of desipramine and maprotiline (NA uptake inhibitors), as well as citalopram and femoxetine (5-HT uptake inhibitors) to protect mice against brain NA depletion induced by H 77/77 (4-alpha-dimethyl-m-tyramine), has been compared with their ability to counteract reserpine (2.5 mg kg-1)- or
Extensive phytochemical analysis of different root fractions of Jatropha pelargoniifolia Courb. (Euphorbiaceae) has resulted in the isolation and identification of 22 secondary metabolites. 6-hydroxy-8-methoxycoumarin-7-O-β-d-glycopyranoside (15) and 2-hydroxymethyl N-methyltryptamine (18) were
Biogenic amines have been reported in a variety of foods, such as fish, meat, cheese, vegetables, and wines. They are described as low molecular weight organic bases with aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic structures. The most common biogenic amines found in foods are histamine, tyramine,
The trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1), activated by endogenous metabolites of amino acids like the trace amines p-tyramine and β-phenylethylamine, has proven to be an important modulator of the dopaminergic system and is considered a promising target for the treatment of neuropsychiatric
