Increased expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine(2A/B) receptors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a rationale for therapeutic intervention [PDF]
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has a poor prognosis and limited responsiveness to available treatments. It is characterised by epithelial cell injury, fibroblast activation and proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition ...

DRUG ANTAGONISM AND AUDIOGENIC SEIZURES IN MICE [PDF]
The occurrence of audiogenic seizures in mice has been used as the basis of a method for measuring the antagonism between sodium thiopentone and bemegride or leptazol. Thiopentone in doses of 8 and 16 mg./kg. protected all the mice against the occurrence of audiogenic seizures.

Antagonism between Two Mechanisms of Antifungal Drug Resistance [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study tested for interaction between two independently evolved mechanisms of fluconazole resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae . One set of strains was from a 400-generation evolution experiment, during which the concentration of fluconazole was increased from 16 to 256 μg/ml in four ...

Antagonism of a PCP Drug Discrimination by Hallucinogens and Related Drugs [PDF]
Drugs such as PCP and MK-801 can cause psychotic reactions in humans by antagonizing NMDA receptors. This action is ultimately toxic to certain cortical neurons and may be one mechanism underlying neurodegenerative diseases, including schizophrenia. It has been reported that hallucinogens such as LSD, DOM, and DOI can block the neurotoxic effects of ...
