Rod bipolar cells in the retina of the capuchin monkey (Cebus apella): Characterization and distribution
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2009)
Rod bipolar cells in Cebus apella monkey retina were identified by an antibody against the alpha isoform of protein kinase C (PKC alpha). which has been shown to selectively identify rod bipolars in two other primates and ...
Effects of ethanol on human visual evoked potentials
(2001-10-22)
Studies of the effect of ethanol on human visual evoked potentials are rare and usually involve chronic alcoholic patients. The effect of acute ethanol ingestion has seldom been investigated. We have studied the effect of ...

Connexin36, an Essential Element in the Rod Pathway, Is Highly Expressed in the Essentially Rodless Retina of Gallus gallus
(WILEY-LISS, 2009)
Electrical coupling provided by connexins (Cx) in gap junctions (GJ) plays important roles in both the developing and the mature retina. In mammalian nocturnal species, Cx36 is an essential component in the rod pathway, ...
Diacylglyceride lipase activity in rod outer segments depends on the illumination state of the retina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008-12)
We have demonstrated that the competition between phosphatidic acid (PA) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) for lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPP) generates different ...
Nitric oxide signaling in the retina: What have we learned in two decades?
(2012)
Two decades after its first detection in the retina, nitric oxide (NO) continues to puzzle visual neuroscientists. While its liberation by photoreceptors remains controversial, recent evidence supports three subtypes of ...
The Endocannabinoid System Is Present in Rod Outer Segments from Retina and Is Modulated by Light
(Springer, 2019-04-24)
The aim of the present research was to evaluate if the endocannabinoid system (enzymes and receptors) could bemodulated by light in rod outer segment (ROS) from bovine retina. First, we analyzed endocannabinoid ...
Morphological evidence of neurotoxicity in retina after methylmercury exposure
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
The visual system is particularly sensitive to methylmercury (MeHg) exposure and, therefore, provides a useful model for investigating the fundamental mechanisms that direct toxic effects. During a period of 70 days, adult ...
