Hypothalamic excitatory amino acid receptors mediate stress-induced tachycardia in rats [PDF]
The role of hypothalamic excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors in mediating the cardiovascular response to stress was examined using conscious chronically instrumented rats.

Interaction of hypothalamic GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e and excitatory amino acid receptors controlling heart rate in rats [PDF]
We have previously shown that microinjection of drugs that impair gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated synaptic inhibition into the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) of rats generates cardiovascular and behavioral changes that mimic the response to ...

Reduced neurosteroid potentiation of GABAA receptors in epilepsy and depolarized hippocampal neurons [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Neurosteroids regulate neuronal excitability by potentiating γ-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABARs). In animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy, the neurosteroid sensitivity of GABARs is diminished and GABAR subunit composition is ...

Scalable Biosynthesis of the Seaweed Neurochemical, Kainic Acid.
Kainic acid, the flagship member of the kainoid family of natural neurochemicals, is a widely used neuropharmacological agent that helped unravel the key role of ionotropic glutamate receptors, including the kainate receptor, in the central nervous ...

GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e and excitatory amino acid receptors in dorsomedial hypothalamus and heart rate in rats [PDF]
We have previously shown that microinjection of drugs that interfere with the function of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) into the hypothalamus produces cardiorespiratory and behavioral changes resembling those seen in ...

Epithelium-dependent effect of L-glutamate on airways: involvement of prostaglandins
We investigated the effect of the excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptor agonists L-glutamate, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), (RS)-a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) and kainic acid on KCl-induced contractions of rabbit tracheal ...

Glial metabotropic glutamate receptor-4 increases maturation and survival of oligodendrocytes
Group III metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors mediate important neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Stimulation of mGlu4 receptor reduces neuroinflammation in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) whereas mGlu4 ...

Nimesulide limits kainate-induced oxidative damage in the rat hippocampus [PDF]
Kainate induces a marked expression of cyclooxygenase-2 after its systemic administration. Because cyclooxygenase-2 activity is associated to the production of reactive oxygen species, we investigated the effects of nimesulide, a selective cyclooxygenase-
