The distribution of cells that express mRNA encoding the androgen (AR) and estrogen (ER)
receptors was examined in adult male and female rats by using in situ hybridization. Specific …

We are all familiar with the enzymic hydrolysis of peptide bonds, at least in the context of
gastrointestinal digestion of ingested proteins. Our view of the proteolytic enzymes and their …

The participation of gonadal steroid hormones in the regulation of the expression of the
somatostatin gene in the hypothalamus and cerebral cortex was studied by using a …

The participation of gonadal steroid hormones in regulation of the vasoactive intestinal
peptide (VIP) gene expression in the hypothalamus was studied using a quantitative …

Tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT, EC 2.6. 1.5) is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent
aminotransferase that is widely found in living organisms. It catalyzes the transfer of the …

The ability of gonadal steroids to regulate the expression of the somatostatin gene in several
regions of the CNS was investigated with in situ hybridization histochemistry. The amount of …

The role of chemical transmission in the signalling between neurones and their target cells
is now largely taken for granted. Until recently, the number of chemicals thought to be …

The mechanism (s) whereby the indirect dopamine agonist methamphetamine causes a 2–3-
fold increase in rat striatal preprotachykinin (PPT) mRNA was investigated. It was …

Abstract Tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT, EC 2.6. 1.5) is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent
aminotransferase that is widely found in living organisms. It catalyzes the transfer of the …

The present study examined the modulatory role of dopamine (DA) on striatonigral
preprotachykinin (PPT) and prodynorphin (PD) gene expression, employing the DA uptake …
