Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Refractory Epilepsy: Effects on Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines in Peripheral Blood [PDF]

, 2010
Objective: The vagus nerve has important immunological functions that may be relevant for its anticonvulsive action. We postulate that this anticonvulsive action is activated by a shift in the immune system resulting in a reduction of neurotoxic and an ...

Influence of 2,5-Hexanedione, Acrylamide, Tri-O-Tolyl Phosphate, Leptophos and Methylmercury on Endogenous Levels of Tryptophan, Serotonin and 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid and Serotonin Turnover Rates in Rat Brain [PDF]

, 1992
Several industrial and environmental chemicals cause distal and/or central neuropathy among other diverse toxic effects. Spague-Dawley derived rats were fed doses of 2,5-hexanedione, acrylamide, tri-o-tolyl phosphate, Leptophos and methylmercury via ...

Renal Handling of 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid in the Dog.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1965
SummaryThe renal clearance of 5-HIAA at low plasma concentrations in the dog averaged 143 ± 7.8 ml/min/M2 with simultaneous creatinine and sodium iodohippurate I131 clearances of 66 ± 3.6 and 223 ± 20 ml/min/M2, respectively. Probenecid administration resulted in a marked depression of the 5-HIAA clearance.
