A role for epithelium‐derived 6‐nitrodopamine on human ureter contractility

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose To investigate the basal release of 6‐nitrodopamine (6‐ND) from human isolated ureter and the role of this novel catecholamine in the ureter contractility. Experimental Approach Ureters from 67 brain‐dead organ donors (40 males and 27 females) were used during kidney transplantation procedures.

Pharmacological modulation of fish-induced depth selection in D. magna: the role of cholinergic and GABAergic signalling

Scientific Reports, 2021
Animal behaviour is closely related to individual fitness, which allows animals to choose suitable mates or avoid predation. The central nervous system regulates many aspects of animal behaviour responses.

Spreading depolarization and its influence on epileptiform activity

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Spreading depolarization (SD) is a transient disruption of electrographic activity that slowly propagates through the gray matter by chemical contiguity, and it is characterized by a large depolarization of neurons and glial cells. SD, which is associated with massive changes in ion homeostasis, including extreme increases in [K+]o, was shown ...

In vitro Comparison of the Intrinsic Activity of Functional Antagonism between β-agonists and Spasmogens in the Guinea-pig Tracheal Muscle

Allergology International, 2005
Background: The bronchodilating action of β-agonists depends on the tone of airway smooth muscle or on spasmogen. To estimate the precise intrinsic activity of β-agonists, relaxation responses should be examined on maximally contracted airway smooth ...

Lower density of calretinin‐immunopositive neurons in the putamen of subjects with schizophrenia

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 505-516, April 2025.
Recent neuroimaging and histological studies highlight the striatum as a key area involved in SCH, but the specific impairment of neuronal subtypes in subcortical structures is not fully understood. This study is the first detailed investigation of neuroanatomical changes in the putamen in SCH, specifically examining the density of calretinin ...

Pharmacokinetics and Safety of a Single Subcutaneous or Intramuscular Dose of Ketamine in Healthy Horses

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pharmacokinetics (PK) of intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) ketamine in horses has not been described. This study aimed to evaluate the PK and safety of ketamine and its metabolites after a single SC or IM administration. In Phase 1, two horses received 0.5 or 1 mg/kg of ketamine via SC and IM routes.
