The free energy landscape of GABA binding to a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel and its disruption by mutations [PDF]
Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) of the Cys-loop superfamily are important neuroreceptors that mediate fast synaptic transmission. They are activated by the binding of a neurotransmitter, but the details of this process are still not fully ...

Dieldrin was previously used as a pesticide. Although its use has been discontinued, humans are still exposed to it due to its high environmental persistence and because it accumulates in the adipose tissue of animals. Acute exposure to dieldrin provokes

Depletion of Dieldrin from Turkeys
Abstract Two experiments were conducted with large-type, male turkeys to investigate ways in which the elimination of dieldrin in body tissues might be accelerated. In experiment 1, eleven-week old turkeys were given 0.30 p.p.m. dietary dieldrin for 5 days. After treatment, dieldrin concentration in body fat was 1.64 p.p.m.
