Electroencephalographic, physiologic and behavioural responses during cervical dislocation euthanasia in turkeys

BMC Veterinary Research, 2019
Background There is a critical need to develop appropriate on-farm euthanasia methods for poultry species. Euthanasia methods should affect the brain first causing insensibility, followed by cardiorespiratory arrest. Neck or cervical dislocation methods,

Sedative–hypnotic effect of YZG-330 and its effect on chloride influx in mouse brain cortical cells

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2013
This study was to examine the sedative–hypnotic effect of YZG-330 and its influence on Cl− influx in mouse cortical cells. In a sleep time-prolongation test in which mice were administered a threshold dosage of sodium pentobarbital (ip), YZG-330 (0.125 ...

A Comparative Study of Cell Specific Effects of Systemic and Volatile Anesthetics on Identified Motor Neurons and Interneurons of Lymnaea stagnalis (L.), Both in the Isolated Brain and in Single Cell Culture

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
1. A comparative descriptive analysis of systemic (sodium pentobarbital, sodium thiopentone, ketamine) and volatile (halothane, isoflurane, enflurane) general anesthetics revealed important differences in the neuronal responses of identified motor ...

Anesthesia of Biomphalaria spp. (Mollusca, Gastropoda): sodium pentobarbital is the drug of choice

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001
The anesthetic effect of some water-soluble anesthesic or narcotic drugs currently used in mice was tested in molluscs of the Biomphalaria genus. Sodium thiopental was very toxic to the snails resulting in high rates of mortality in all the treatment ...

Down‐regulation of Shh in the hair follicles of mice during chemotherapy‐induced hair loss is mediated by the JAK/STAT1 signaling pathway

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We found that during chemotherapy‐induced alopecia (CIA), Sonic hedgehog (Shh) expression significantly decreased in hair follicle Shh+ cells, whereas the Janus‐activated kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (JAK/STAT1) signaling pathway was markedly activated.
