Transplantation of GABAergic Neurons but not Astrocytes Induces Recovery of Sensorimotor Function in the Traumatically Injured Brain
(East Carolina University, 2007-04-16)
Embryonic stem (ES) cells have been investigated in many animal models of injury and disease.
However, few studies have examined the ability of pre-differentiated ES cells to improve functional
outcome following traumatic ...
Cocaine Disrupts Pup-Induced Maternal Behavior in Juvenile and Adult Rats
(East Carolina University, 2007-11)
Impaired onset of maternal behavior in first generation rat dams was previously correlated with rearing by cocaine-treated dams and prenatal cocaine exposure. Pup-induced maternal behavior in non-lactating rats has not ...
Mechanisms Involved in the Cerebrovascular Dilator Effects of N-methyl-D-aspartate in Cerebral Cortex
(East Carolina University, 2007-11)
Glutamate and its synthetic analogues N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), kainate, and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) are potent dilator agents in the cerebral circulation. The close linkage between ...
Increased Nonconducted P-Wave Arrhythmias after a Single Oil Fly Ash Inhalation Exposure in Hypertensive Rats
(East Carolina University, 2009-05)
Background: Exposure to combustion-derived fine particulate matter (PM) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality especially in individuals with cardiovascular disease, including hypertension. PM ...
Chronic ethanol attenuates centrally-mediated hypotension elicited via alpha-2-adrenergic, but not I1-imidazoline, receptor activation in female rats
(East Carolina University, 2009-01-16)
Aims—This study dealt with the effect of chronic ethanol administration on hemodynamic responses
elicited by α2-adrenergic (α-methyldopa) or I1-imidazoline (rilmenidine) receptor activation in
telemetered female rats.
