Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that male adult offspring of stressed mothers exhibited higher levels of ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors than control rats. These offspring also showed ...

In the present study, the involvement of paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) glutamate receptors in the modulation of autonomic (arterial blood pressure, heart rate and tail skin temperature) and neuroendocrine ...

Glutamate participates in the regulation of secretion of several neuropeptides, including substance P (SP). Glutamate acts through ionotropic (iGluRS) and metabotropic (mGluRS) receptors. We have investigated whether ...

The presence in highly purified rat brain cortex synaptic vesicles of endogenous ligands for rat brain quisqualate receptors was investigated. The vesicles were extracted, and their contents fractionated by high voltage ...

Conditions were found for stabilizing rat brain cortex kainic acid (KA) receptors. Such receptors had the same Hill number (about 0.6) for KA and for glutamate. The receptors were then used as detectors for endogenous ...

The organization and regulation of excitatory synapses in the mammalian CNS entails complex molecular and cellular processes. In the postsynaptic membrane, scaffolding proteins bring together glutamate receptors with ...
