The flow threshold for alterations of the in vitro [3H]cyclic AMP (cAMP) binding, an indicator of the total amount of particulate cAMP-dependent protein kinase, was evaluated in the gerbil brain after 30 min, 2 h, and 6 h of unilateral common carotid artery occlusion, respectively. The
Stroke causes devastating and irreversible losses of neurological function with subsequent slow and incomplete recovery of lost brain functions, because of the brain's limited capacity for brain plasticity. Growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible protein 45 beta (Gadd45b) has recently been
Antecubital venous blood was sampled from stroke patients in the presence of disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate. Plasma was analyzed for cyclic AMP applying a competitive protein binding method without any special pretreatment. In mild hemispheric infarction as manifested by moderate hemiparesis
Dibutyryl cyclic-AMP was administered to a group of anesthetized dogs at the doses of 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, and changes in stroke volume, cardiac output and myocardial contractility were observed. Also, effects of this substance on contractile performance of isolated cardiac muscle were
Plasmas, cerebrospinal fluid and urine were sampled from 22 patients with cerebral hemispheric infarction and analyzed for cyclic AMP. The following observations were made: (1) In mild cases with slight dysarthria and/or hemiparesis but without disturbance of consciousness (Group I), cyclic AMP in
Pathological conditions such as ischaemic stroke and inflammatory disorders cause c-fos activation in the brain. This activation contributes to the initiation of the brain's inflammatory response, orchestrated by activated glial cells. The inflammatory signalling cascades leading to c-fos activation
The relaxant effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and other drugs were compared in basilar artery rings obtained from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). In addition, the relaxant effect of CGRP on basilar arteries from spontaneously
"Carney Complex (CNC) is a familial lentiginosis syndrome, caused by PRKAR1A mutations that lead to cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) signaling pathway abnormalities, predisposing to a variety of skin tumors, myxomas and endocrine tumors. We describe a Greek family diagnosed with CNC
The localization and distribution of catecholamines, selected neuropeptides, and the cyclic nucleotide second messengers has been determined in the superior cervical ganglion of the stroke-prone variant of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and its normotensive Wistar-kyoto (WKY) control.
Cerebral hemispheric blood flow and metabolism were measured before and after therapy with intracarotid infusion of combined PBZ and PPL in 15 patients with recent cerebral infarction. HBF was unaltered despite decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure. Cerebral hemispheric oxygen comsumption and
1. The relaxant effects of dopamine (DA) on the intrarenal arteries obtained from 6 month old stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were pharmacologically investigated in vitro. 2. DA (10(-7)-3 x 10(-5) mol/L) produced endothelium-independent
1. The relaxant responses to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) of the 3rd order branches of the superior mesenteric arteries (SMA) from 6 month old stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were studied in vitro. 2. Cumulative addition of CGRP
BACKGROUND
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) are endogenous peptides, widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system. The adenylyl cyclase (AC)/cyclic AMP (cAMP) is their main intracellular signal transduction pathway.
The effect of three modes of anesthesia was evaluated with regard to regional damage to central cyclic nucleotide systems in the gerbil brain as a consequence of bilateral ischemia (clamping the common carotids) followed by various periods of recirculation. The injection of thiopental as much as 90
To evaluate the hemodynamic effects of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (DBcAMP) in congestive heart failure (CHF), right-sided cardiac catheterization was performed in 11 patients with CHF, and hemodynamic variables were investigated before and after infusion of various doses of DBcAMP at a rate of 0.025 to
