eserine/hypoxia

Intoxication caused by intramuscular injection of picrotoxin and eserine (5 and 10 mg/kg) to albino rats is found to increase the degree of coupling of oxidation to phosphorylation and the rate of succinate oxidation. The conclusion may be drawn that the reaction of the oxidative phosphorylation

1. The carotid body and the carotid nerve were removed from anaesthetized cats and placed in a small Perspex channel through which Locke solution (at various pH values and usually equilibrated with 50% O(2) in N(2)) was allowed to flow. The glomus was immersed in the flowing solution while the nerve

L-Carnitine (L-C) is involved in the transport of acyl groups into mitochondria for beta-oxidation, although its role in the adult brain is still uncertain. We have shown before that the uptake of L-carnitine into cultured rat cortical neurones was dependent on temperature as well as the Na gradient

The neurotransmitter mechanisms that mediate chemosensory transmission in the mammalian carotid body (CB), i.e. the primary arterial P(O2) detector, are controversial. Given the inherent difficulty of recording from afferent terminals in situ, the authors have adopted an alternative approach based

Cholinergic neuronal influences on the function of male rat's hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenocortical (HHA) system both during basal and stressful situations (hypoxia and hypercapnia) were investigated using a cholinergic agonist (eserine) and antagonists (atropine, methyl atropine, mecamylamine and

Relaxations of the isolated bovine retractor penis muscle elicited by nicotine and the three other nicotinic agonists acetylcholine, carbachol, and dimethylphenylpiperazinium were studied. Nicotine (10-45 microM) induced dose-dependent relaxations that closely resembled those evoked by transmural
