Female mice form an olfactory memory of male pheromones at mating; exposure to the a strange after that mating will block pregnancy. The formation this is mediated by accessory system, in which increase norepinephrine reduces inhibitory transmission γ-aminobutyric acid from granule cells mitral cells. This study shows activation mGluR2, metabotropic glutamate receptor suppresses inhibition cells, permits specific without occurrence infusion mGluR2 agonists into female's bulb. faithfully...

A detailed secretory profile of oxytocin during suckling and parturition was determined in unanaesthetized freely moving rats. Ten pups were reunited with their mothers after 12-15 h separation. Unless the milk-ejection reflex occurred, there no difference serum levels before separation either four or five, nine ten pups. Serum increased abruptly by 50.1 +/- 4.2 (S.E.M.) pmol/l (n = 9) at milk ejection, declined rapidly a half-life about 1.5 min. The peak concentration blood each ejection...

1. Experiments were undertaken to provide evidence for the existence of a circuit neuronal interconnections between supraoptic nucleus (SON), ventral anteroventral third ventricular region (including organum vasculosum lamina terminalis; AV3V) and median preoptic (MnPO), determine importance these connections in osmotic control activity SON. Extracellular recordings made urethane‐anaesthetized male rat from neurones one three sites, while other two sites electrically stimulated. 2. During...

Recently, manufactured nano/microparticles such as fullerenes (C60), carbon black (CB) and ceramic fiber are being widely used because of their desirable properties in industrial, medical cosmetic fields. However, there few data on these particles mammalian mutagenesis carcinogenesis. To examine genotoxic effects by C60, CB kaolin, an vitro micronuclei (MN) test was conducted with human lung cancer cell line, A549 cells. In addition, DNA damage mutations were analyzed vivo assay systems...

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a recalcitrant neoplasm with low chemosensitivity. We recently reported that recombinant methioninase (rMETase) inhibited SS growth in patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) mouse model and was more effective when administered combination the first-line drug doxorubicin (DOX). Caffeine enhances efficacy of anticancer drugs by overcoming drug-induced cell-cycle arrest increasing subsequent apoptosis. Here, we determined oral (o-rMETase) combined caffeine on an...

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is a neuropathic lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS), which leads to the accumulation glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). We demonstrated that biochemical alterations in brains MPS mice are not corrected bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or enzyme replacement therapy, although BMT has been shown be effective for other neurodegenerative MPSs, such as Hurler syndrome. In this study, we lentiviral isogeneic hematopoietic...

In advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been reported a better treatment outcome on primary lesions, however, the therapeutic effect bone metastases has not clarified. This study investigates of ICIs in NSCLC.The data patients with NSCLC, treated from 2016 to 2019 at our hospital, were analyzed. The effects and metastatic concomitant use modifying agents (BMA), outcomes, frequency immune-related adverse events (irAEs) skeletal-related (SREs)...

Prolactin, GH, TSH, adrenaline and noradrenaline responses to the stress of immobilization were compared between lactating non-lactating dioestrous rats. The concentrations GH in plasma reduced a similar degree by rats, TSH levels unchanged both groups. increases induced significantly smaller than Immobilization caused marked increase prolactin rats but no These changes may help save energy maintain milk production during period lactation.

When slices of ovine lutea’ tissue were perfused with medium containing luteinizing hormone (LH), the output progesterone was increased significantly (P < 0.01) in eleven twelve experiments. However, addition LH to did not influence luteal cell membrane potential. The 47 mM potassium resulted and depolarization within 2 min. Progesterone decreased approximate pretreatment levels min return normal perfusion medium. High further from stimulated LH. Perfusion sodium-free also min, which...

Background/Aim: Osteosarcoma is a recalcitrant neoplasm which occurs predominantly in adolescents and young adults. Recently, using patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) model of malignant soft-tissue sarcoma (STS), we showed that oral recombinant methioninase (o-rMETase), combination with caffeine, was more efficacious than o-rMETase alone inhibiting STS tumor growth. In the present report, determined efficacy combined caffeine on cisplatinum (CDDP)-resistant osteosarcoma PDOX model....

Pompe disease (PD) is a lysosomal disorder caused by acid α-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency. Progressive muscular weakness the major symptom of PD, and enzyme replacement therapy can improve clinical outcome. However, to achieve better outcome, alternative therapeutic strategies are being investigated, including gene pharmacological chaperones. We previously used lentiviral vector-mediated GAA transfer in PD patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells. Some efficacy was observed, although...
