Protein synthesis was measured using a cell‐free system obtained from subcortical rat brain
tissue. The concentrations of Mg 2+ and K + and the amount of tissue, during both the …

TNF-α is a cytokine associated with inflammatory diseases, including asthma. Increased
levels of TNF-α were found in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of mice undergoing a …

We investigated contractile responses of the isolated human coronary artery to 5-hydroxytryptamine
(5-HT), washed human platelets, sumatriptan and ergotamine. 5-HT (pD 2 : 6.8 ± 0.1…

1 This study investigates the effects of capsaicin‐induced depletion of sensory neuropeptides
and of neurokinin! (NK 1 ) receptor blockade on delayed‐type hypersensitivity (DTH)‐…

The receptors mediating the contractile effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the human
isolated saphenous vein, obtained from 42 patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery, …

THE SYSTEM for classification of 5-HT receptors set up by Bradley et aI.‘,* in 1986 has formed
a basis for subsequent 5-HT receptor identification. They proposed the existence of three …

There is growing evidence that T-lymphocyte dysfunction contributes to the development of
hypertension. IL-4 and IFN-γ are important regulators of T-lymphocyte function. Therefore, we …

… from caudate nucleus slices of homozygous Brattleboro rats, which are deficient in vasopressin,
than from tissue of heterozygous non-diabetic controls rats (Van HeuvenNolsen, Mulder …

5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) elicited concentration-dependent contractions of the rabbit
isolated saphenous vein. The effects of 5-HT were mimicked by 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT), …

1 Using a number of agonist and antagonist compounds, we have attempted to characterize
the responses and receptors involved in the effects of 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) in the …
