Amnesic shellfish poisoning toxin stimulates the transcription of CYP1A possibly through AHR and ARNT in the liver of red sea bream Pagrus major.

6 Aug 2009 To investigate the role of detoxification-related liver genes in amnesic shellfish poisoning toxin metabolism, red sea bream Pagrus major were exposed to domoic acid (DA, 2mugg(-1) wet weight) for 24h. Hepatic mRNA expression levels of AHR, ARNT, ... Read more...

[Dependence of atropin-induced amnesia fluctuations on the state of pineal gland]

29 Jun 2009 Atropin produces weakening of the memory on the model of passive avoidance reaction in rats, the effect being more pronounced in evening hours. The drug effect is increased in pinealectomized animals and attenuated by the pineal hormone melatonin, ... Read more...

Cognitive-enhancing activity of loganin isolated from Cornus officinalis in scopolamine-induced amnesic mice.

25 May 2009 We examined anti-amnesic activity of the methanolic extract of Cornus officinalis fruits (COT) and a major constituent, loganin using scopolamine-induced (1 mg/kg body weight, s.c.) amnesic mice with both passive avoidance and the Morris water maze ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Amnesia'

Definition: Pathologic partial or complete loss of the ability to recall past experiences (AMNESIA, RETROGRADE) or to form new memories (AMNESIA, ANTEROGRADE). This condition may be of organic or psychologic origin. Organic forms of amnesia are usually associated with dysfunction of the DIENCEPHALON or HIPPOCAMPUS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp426-7)
