Abstract:

P2X receptors are fast, ATP-gated cation ion channels. To date seven subtypes of P2X receptors have been cloned and identified, PZXH. The membrane topology of the P2X subunit consists of intracellular amino- and carboxy-termini, two transmembrane spanning domains and a large extracellular loop. Despite similar membrane topology, within this family of receptors the P2X subtypes possess different functional characteristics. They exhibit different sensitivities to agonists and antagonists, are modulated differently by extracellular ions, and have different pore forming abilities. The region

Abstract:

Fluorescent analogs of biomolecules have been known as useful probes to study the structure, conformations and dynamics of cellular processes. These probes are more ideal than fluorescent labeled probes, as fluorescent analog probes retain the shape, size, conformation, and recognition element of the natural substrate, while giving useful intracellular information about detection and dynamics of biomolecules. The monoamine neurotransmitters control the central and periphery nervous systems. Serotonin (5-HT), in particular, is a versatile chemical messenger responsible for a multitude of biolog

Abstract:

Three studies on the relationship between food, hormones and neurotransmitters are presented for this thesis. In the ﬁrst study, a series of three experiments was conducted in 33 healthy human ratio volunteers. The aim was to investigate the effect of carbohydrate meals on the plasma of tryptophan (trp) to the sum of 5 other large neutral amino acids (LNAAs ) (trp: LNAA ratio). Synthesis s of serotonin, the brain neurotransmitter, depends on availability of its precursor trp from the bloodstream. Animal models have shown that the plasma trp:LNAA ratio, provides an index of trp uptake by the

Abstract:

Organic electronic materials, that is, carbon-based compounds that conduct electricity, have emerged as candidates for improving the interface between conventional electronics and biological systems. The softness of these materials matches the elasticity of biological tissue better than conventional electronic conductors, allowing better contact to tissue, and the mixed ionic-electronic conductivity can improve the signal transduction between electronic devices and electrically excitable cells. This improved communication between electronics and tissue can significantly enhance, for example, e

Abstract:

Some metallophthalocyanine complexes were synthesized and their catalytic activities towards the detection and quantification of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and histamine were investigated. The study of the possible interaction between these transmitter substances and the metallophthalocyanine complexes was undertaken. Dopamine, serotonin and histamine formed complexes with Iron (II) tetrasulfophthalocyanine. The rate and equilibrium constants obtained for the coordination are in the range of values reported in the literature for ligand coordination to iron phthalocyanine complex

Abstract:

Various neurotoxins were investigated to assess their suitability for developing an animal model to study partial brain BH4 deficiency, neurotransmitters and behavioural alterations. Acute dosing with lead, diethylstilboestrol (DES), amphetamine and scopolamine produced no significant changes in rat brain BH4 metabolism though total biopterins in the liver were significantly reduced by lead and DES. Acute starvation of adult rats decreased brain biopterins. This loss of biopterins may be due to enhanced oxidative catabolism of the active cofactor caused by glutathione depletion. Dietary admini

Abstract:

The main aim of this project has been to study the extrinsic and intrinsic factors involved in the axonal growth rate of sensory and sympathetic neurons during the early stages of their development. Using in vitro assays it was shown that Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF)/Met signalling significantly enhanced the survival and neurite length of early DRG neurons grown in the presence of NGF. This synergism was specific for NGF but not for the related neurotrophins BDNF or NT-3 (Maina et al., 1997). HGF/Met signalling was also shown to accelerate the differentiation of sympathetic neurons as well a

A central theme to this work is that both myelinated and nonmyelinated central white matter injury is a partially glutamate-dependent process.

Abstract:

A fundamental understanding of the relationship between structure and activity of neurotransmitters in the human brain is of vital importance for the design targeted drugs. Using density functional theory and hybrid exchange correlation energy functionals we have studied the structure-activity-relationships of some important neurotransmitters and selected drugs by calculating their absolute hardness (η) and absolute electronegativity (χ). A plot of the η- χ diagram allowed us to assign them into three distinct groups, namely, (i) Acetylcholine analogs (positively charged structure), (ii) GABA

The effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitters gammaamino butyric acid (GABA) and glycine were characterized on spontaneous activity recorded from mouse spinal cord cultures. The GABA concentration which completely inhibited burst activity was chosen as a quantifiable measure of culture drug response and was used to 1) assess interculture and intraculture variability, 2) determine the influence of culture age and initial activity on GABA responses, and 3) compare the GABA responses between networks obtained from whole spinal cord and ventral half spinal cord.

Abstract:

The possible role of L-serine as an allosteric modulator of anandamide (AEA) action on cannabinoid receptors has been investigated along with the studying the actions of AEA metabolite, ethanolamine. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons from neonate Sprague Dawley rats were used in primary culture. L-serine was found to modulate anandamide actions on overall neuronal excitability, voltage-activated K<sup>+</sup> and Ca<sup>2+</sup> currents and intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> flux. These modulations were suggested to be mediated via allosteric modulation of AEA actions at CB1 receptors. These ob
