Effect of N1-Dansylspermine and Ro25,6981 on locomotor activity in naive mice and in the resperpinised mouse model of Parkinson's disease
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2016-09-01)
The effect of N1-dansylspermine, a polyamine analogue and competitive polyamine antagonist, and Ro25,6981, a noncompetitive polyamine antagonist with good affinity and selectivity for the GluN2B subunit, on locomotor ...
Effect of a binge-like dosing regimen of methamphetamine on dopamine levels and tyrosine hydroxylase expressing neurons in the rat brain
(Elsevier, 2018-10-05)
Methamphetamine, an amphetamine derivative, is a powerful psychomotor stimulant and commonly used drug of abuse. This study examined the effect of binge-like methamphetamine (MA) dosing (4 x 4 mg/kg, s.c., 2 h apart) on ...
Ulk4 regulates GABAergic signaling and anxiety-related behavior
(Springer Nature, 2018-02-02)
Excitation/inhibition imbalance has been proposed as a fundamental mechanism in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, in which copy number variations of the Unc-51 like kinase 4 (ULK4) gene ...
FAAH, but not MAGL, inhibition modulates acute TLR3‐induced neuroimmune signaling in the rat, independent of sex
(Wiley, 2017-07-20)
Toll-like receptor (TLR)3 is a key component of the innate immune response to viral infection. The present study firstly examined whether sex differences exist in TLR3-induced inflammatory, endocrine, and sickness responses. ...
High times for painful blues: the endocannabinoid system in pain-depression comorbidity
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-09-05)
Depression and pain are two of the most debilitating disorders worldwide and have an estimated cooccurrence of up to 80%. Comorbidity of these disorders is more difficult to treat, associated with significant disability ...
Dose-dependent effects of binge-like methamphetamine dosing on dopamine and neurotrophin levels in rat brain
(Karger Publishers, 2017-10-24)
This study investigated the acute effect of a dose range of low-to-moderate binge-like methamphetamine treatments on the regional expression of neurotrophin proteins in the brain and serum 2 h after the last dose, in ...
FAAH inhibition attenuates TLR3-mediated hyperthermia, nociceptive- and anxiety-like behaviour in female rats
(Elsevier, 2018-06-25)
Aberrant activation of toll-like receptor (TLR)s results in persistent and prolonged neuroinflammation and has been implicated in the pathogenesis and exacerbation of psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. TLR3 ...
Subconjunctival administration of low-dose murine allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells promotes corneal allograft survival in mice
(BMC, 2021-04-06)
Systemic administration of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) has been efficacious in many inflammatory disease settings; however, little data are available on the potential immunomodulatory effects following local MSC ...
Salt and cardiovascular disease: insufficient evidence to recommend low sodium intake
(Oxford University Press, 2020-10-04)
Several blood pressure guidelines recommend low sodium intake (<2.3 g/day, 100 mmol, 5.8 g/day of salt) for the entire population, on the premise that reductions in sodium intake, irrespective of the levels, will lower ...
Prevalence of burnout among Irish general practitioners: a cross-sectional study
(Springer, 2016-01-23)
Burnout constitutes a significant problem among physicians which impacts negatively upon both the doctor and their patients. Previous research has indicated that burnout is prevalent among primary care physicians in other ...
