Modeling the pore structure of voltage-gated sodium channels in closed, open, and fast-inactivated conformation reveals details of site 1 toxin and local anesthetic binding [PDF]
In this work molecular modeling was applied to generate homology models of the pore region of the Na v 1.2 and Na v 1.8 isoforms of human voltage-gated sodium channels.

Ultrasonographic Ocular Biometry of the Greater Caribbean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus)
ABSTRACT This study aimed to characterize the ocular biometry of the Trichechus manatus manatus applying B‐mode ultrasonography across different age groups. Twenty‐two animals were assessed employing a portable ultrasound device equipped with a linear transducer. Five ocular parameters were assessed: corneal thickness (CT), anterior chamber depth (ACD),

Changes of SERCA activity have only modest effects on sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ content in rat ventricular myocytes [PDF]
: Changes of the activity of the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) affect the amplitude of the systolic Ca(2+) transient and thence cardiac contractility. This is thought to be due to alterations of SR Ca(2+) content.

Abstract figure legend This study aimed to determine whether early sensorimotor restriction (SMR) alters mitochondrial enzyme activities in rat muscles and brain structures. SMR was induced via immobilizing the hind limbs of pups for 16 h per day during the dark phase from birth to postnatal day (PND) 28.

Effects of Gabaergic phenols on phospholipid bilayers as evaluated by 1H-NMR [PDF]
The phenols propofol and thymol, and lately carvacrol, eugenol and chlorothymol, have been shown to act as positive allosteric modulators on GABAA receptor, which is the main inhibitory receptor of the central nervous system.
