Cannabinoid receptor 1 signaling in cardiovascular regulating nuclei in the brainstem: A review
(2013-04)
Cannabinoids elicit complex hemodynamic responses in experimental animals that involve both peripheral and central sites. Centrally administered cannabinoids have been shown to predominantly cause pressor response. However, ...
Multi-walled carbon nanotube instillation impairs pulmonary function in C57BL/6 mice
(2011)
Background
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are widely used in many disciplines due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Therefore, some concerns about the possible human health and environmental ...

(2014-12)
Abbreviations: A2A, adenosine subtype A2A receptor; A1, adenosine subtype A1 receptor; ABC, avidin biotin complex; ABD rat, aortic barodenervated rat; α2 AR, alpha 2 adrenergic receptor; αMNE, alpha methyl norepinephrine; ...
Interlaboratory Evaluation of Rodent Pulmonary Responses to Engineered Nanomaterials: The NIEHS Nano GO Consortium
(2013-05)
Background: Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have potential benefits, but they also present safety concerns for human health. Interlaboratory studies in rodents using standardized protocols are needed to assess ENM ...
Interactions of a Dopamine D Receptor Agonist with Glutamate NMDA Receptor Antagonists on the Volitional Consumption of Ethanol by the mHEP Rat
(2013-03)
Stimulation of the dopamine D1 receptor is reported to cause the phosphorylation of DARPP-32 at the thre34 position and activates the protein. If intracellular Ca2+ is increased, such as after activation of the glutamate ...
Vision Coach: Effects of Standing Versus Sitting on Visual Reaction Times
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
Assessment and intervention tools for occupational therapy practice must be evidence-based for appropriate use and include normative data with healthy adults. The overall goal of this research was to collect normative data ...
QUANTITATION OF INTERCELLULAR CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SPERMATOGONIA IN THE MOUSE
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-09)
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are critical in the male reproductive process, as they can either self-renew or proliferate into progenitor cells that differentiate to enter meiosis and eventually form functional sperm. ...
The Assessment of Muscle Oxygen Saturation in Students During Maximal VO2 Exercise and High Intensity Intervals
(East Carolina University, 2017-04-28)
The advancement of human performance benefits from state-of-the-art technology to improve the ability to monitor and evaluate physiological adaptations in athletes. Previously validated as a reliable tool for measuring ...
