Extreme antagonism arising from gene-environment interactions [PDF]
Antagonistic interactions in biological systems, which occur when one perturbation blunts the effect of another, are typically interpreted as evidence that the two perturbations impact the same cellular pathway or function. Yet, this interpretation ignores extreme antagonistic interactions wherein an otherwise deleterious perturbation compensates for ...

Interactions of narcotic antagonists and antagonist-analgesics
Abstract In the rat the potent narcotic antagonist N-cyclopropylmethyl-6,14-endoethano-7α- (1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-tetrahydronororipavine (M5050, Reckitt), which itself lacks analgesic activity, resembled naloxone in its capacity to reverse the antinociceptive effects of morphine antagonist-analgesics. The nociceptive stimulus employed

Structural modifications within the active site of the ACTH molecule have produced analogs that inhibit the hormone sensitive adenylate cyclase system of bovine adrenal cortical plasma membranes. It is demonstrated that the tryptophan residue of the ACTH molecule is essential for stimulation of the enzyme.

Food-induced behavioral sensitization, its cross-sensitization to cocaine and morphine, pharmacological blockade, and effect on food intake [PDF]
Repeated administration of abused drugs sensitizes their stimulant effects and results in a drug-paired environment eliciting conditioned activity. We tested whether food induces similar effects.

Emotional Contagion-Aware Deep Reinforcement Learning for Antagonistic Crowd Simulation [PDF]
The antagonistic behavior in the crowd usually exacerbates the seriousness of the situation in sudden riots, where the antagonistic emotional contagion and behavioral decision making play very important roles. However, the complex mechanism of antagonistic emotion influencing decision making, especially in the environment of sudden confrontation, has ...

Structure, Function, and Pharmaceutical Ligands of 5-Hydroxytryptamine 2B Receptor
Since the first characterization of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2B receptor (5-HT2BR) in 1992, significant progress has been made in 5-HT2BR research. Herein, we summarize the biological function, structure, and small-molecule pharmaceutical ligands of the 5-
