Deficits in substance P mRNA levels in the CeA are inversely associated with alcohol-motivated responding.

30 Oct 2009 In the present study, in vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to determine the relationship between innate substance P (SP) levels and alcohol-motivated behavior in alcohol-preferring (P) and nonpreferring (NP) rat lines. In Experiment 1, in ... Read more...

Bactericidal and sporicidal activities of an improved iodide formulation and its derivative.

30 Aug 2009 Bactericidal and sporicidal activities of an improved iodide formulation (tentatively designated as the distilled KMT reagent: pH around 3) and its derivative (tentatively designated as the distilled ethanol reagent: pH around 2.5) were examined in ... Read more...

Inhibition of IgE-induced mast cell activation by ethyl tertiary-butyl ether, a bioethanol-derived fuel oxygenate.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: The effect of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), which is widely used as a fuel oxygenate commonly produced from bioethanol, on immunoglobulin (Ig)E-dependent mast cell activation was investigated. METHODS: The rat mast cell line RBL2H3 ... Read more...
