Glutamatergic neurotransmission in the inferior colliculus influences intrastriatal haloperidol-induced catalepsy
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-07-15)
The inferior colliculus (IC) is an important midbrain relay station for the integration of descending and ascending auditory information. in addition, it has also been implicated in the processing of acoustic information ...
Monosodium glutamate in standard and high-fiber diets: Metabolic syndrome and oxidative stress in rats
(2005-06-01)
Objective: This study determined the effects of adding monosodium glutamate (MSG) to a standard diet and a fiber-enriched diet on glucose metabolism, lipid profile, and oxidative stress in rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats ...

NEONATAL MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE TREATMENT INCREASES EPIDIDYMAL ADIPOSE-TISSUE SENSITIVITY TO INSULIN IN 3-MONTH OLD RATS
(Assoc Bras Divulg Cientifica, 1994-05-01)
We determined the response of glucose transport to insulin in isolated adipocytes and the lipogenic activity of insulin in fragments of epididymal adipose tissue obtained from male MSG-obese rats. Basal glucose transport ...
Trichotillomania: a good response to treatment with N-acetylcysteine
(Soc Brasileira Dermatologia, 2017)
Trichotillomania is considered a behavioral disorder and is characterized by the recurring habit of pulling one's hair, resulting in secondary alopecia. It affects 1% of the adult population, and 2 to 4.4% of psychiatric ...
The reinstatement of amphetamine-induced place preference is long-lasting and related to decreased expression of AMPA receptors in the nucleus accumbens
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2008-01-24)
A great deal of effort has been devoted to elucidating the psychopharmacology underlying addiction and relapse. Long-term neuroadaptations in glutamate transmission seem to be of great relevance for relapse to stimulant ...
Effect of obesity on rat reproduction and on the development of their adult offspring
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 2008-02-01)
The aim of the present study was to assess the reproductive parameters of obese Wistar rats and to determine the frequency of their obese adult offspring. Neonatal rats were divided into two groups: F-1 generation, induced ...
Nucleus isthmi and control of breathing in amphibians
(Elsevier B.V., 2004-11-15)
Despite recent advances, the mechanisms of neurorespiratory control in amphibians are far from understood. One of the brainstem structures believed to play a key role in the ventilatory control of anuran amphibians is the ...
Astrocytes and human cognition: Modeling information integration and modulation of neuronal activity
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2010-11-01)
Recent research focusing on the participation of astrocytes in glutamatergic tripartite synapses has revealed mechanisms that support cognitive functions common to human and other mammalian species, such as learning, ...
