Role of NO in arterial vascular function of intertidal fish (Girella laevifrons) and marine fish (Isacia conceptionis)

Braz. j. biol; 76 (2), 2016
Abstract Previous studies performed in intertidal fish (Girella laevifrons),as well as marine fish (Isacia conceptionis), showed that acetylcholine (ACh) produced contractions mediated by cyclooxygenases that were dependent on the area and potency of contraction in several arterial vessels. Given that th...

Expression of non-neuronal cholinergic system in maxilla of rat in vivo

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: Acetylcholine (ACh) is known to be a key neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems, which is also produced in a variety of non-neuronal tissues and cell. The existence of ACh in maxilla in vivo and potential regulation role for osteogenesis need further study. RESULTS: Co...

Influencia de mecanismos colinergicos nos processos neurodegenerativos relacionados a formacao de amiloide e a fosforilacao da proteina TAU
Cholinergic mechanisms influence in neurodegenerative process related to amyloid formation and phosphorylation of TAU protein

Na doenca de Alzheimer (DA), os principais eventos associados a neurodegeneracao sao a formacao de placas senis e de emaranhados neurofibrilares. Estes fenomenos relacionam-se respectivamente a deposicao de beta-amiloide (Ab) e a alteracoes do estado de fosforilacao da proteina Tau. Esta e componente ess...
