Phosphorylation of rhodopsin by G protein-coupled receptor kinase 1 (GRK1, or rhodopsin kinase) is critical for the deactivation of the phototransduction cascade in vertebrate photoreceptors. Based on our previous studies in vitro, we predicted that Ser(21) in GRK1 would be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in vivo. Here, we report that dark-adapted, wild-type mice demonstrate significantly elevated levels of phosphorylated GRK1 compared with light-adapted animals. Based on comparatively ...

The retina-specific G protein-coupled receptor kinases, GRK1 and GRK7, have been implicated in the shutoff of the photoresponse and adaptation to changing light conditions via rod and cone opsin phosphorylation. Recently, we have defined sites of phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in the amino termini of both GRK1 and GRK7 in vitro. To determine the conditions under which GRK7 is phosphorylated in vivo, we have generated an antibody that recognizes GRK7 phosphorylated on Ser36, ...

1. No evidence for specific catecholamine fluorescence was found in any tissue layer of rat thoracic aorta, even after combined treatment with iproniazid and L-DOPA. 2. In contrast to the atria and abdominal aorta, reserpine (4 mg. per kg.) or 6-hydroxydopamine (50 mg. per kg.) did not affect the catecholamine content of the thoracic aorta. 3. Cocaine (10−5M) or desipramine (10−6M) exerted a similar differential inhibition on [3H]noradrenaline uptake by aortic tissues. 4. After pretreatment with cocaine ( ...

Summary In the guinea‐pig taenia caecum, fluorescent adrenergic fibres terminate in both muscle layers. The density of these fibres is greater in the taenia than in the underlying circular muscle layer. The myenteric plexus and individual ganglion cells are also densely innervated by intensely fluorescent adrenergic nerve fibres. After three days of cold storage, the specific fluorescence disappeared from all tissue layers of the taenia caecum and smooth muscle fibres. In contrast, cholinesterase ...

The effect of nilvadipine, a dihydropyridine type calcium channel blocker, on local cerebral blood flow (1CBF) was investigated using the autoradiographic iodo[14C]antipyrine technique in rats. In control rats, 1CBF in cortical areas and in the superior colliculus and inferior colliculus was higher than that in the hippocampus, septal nucleus, globus pallidus and substantia nigra. Nilvadipine (32 μg/kg, i.v.) increased 1CBF in all structures (significantly in 11 of 21 structures) in spite of a 33% ...

The effects of nilvadipine, a dihydropyridine type calcium channel blocker, on cerebral infarction induced by focal brain ischemia was studied in rats. The area of infarction was measured 24 hr after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in spontaneously hypertensive rats using triphenyltetrazolium chloride. Nilvadipine, given immediately after MCA occlusion, reduced the area of infarction significantly at doses of 0.32 mg/kg (i.p.) and 3.2, 10 and 32 mg/kg (p.o.). Nicardipine suppressed the ...

Rapid progress in biohybrid robots, in which the skeletal muscle tissue is formed on a flexible substrate, has enabled various types of robot locomotion powered by muscle tissue. Conventional biohybrid robots can perform straight-line motions or large turning movements; however, they have difficulty with ...

In-situ X-ray photoemission spectroscopy has been performed on the surface of the [SrCuO2]n[CaCuO2]m artificial structure with so-called infinite stack of CuO2 sheets. The dependence of their valence band spectra on the termination of the film growth and the comparison with the SrCuO2 and CaCuO2 single layers have been studied. With an increase the number of the SrCuO2 blocks that cover the outermost region of the samples, an edge like structure around Fermi level appears, which is more apparent ...

In photonic integrated circuits (PICs), optical isolators and circulators are essential to prevent lasers from backreflections and to reroute the light flow. In this paper, an integrated polarization-independent device that can be operated as an optical isolator or an optical circulator, based on an InP membrane on silicon platform, is demonstrated. A cerium-doped yttrium iron garnet die is adhesively bonded on a Mach–Zehnder interferometer, in combination with four polarization converters. The device ...

The emerging interest in skeletal muscle tissue originates from its unique properties that control body movements. In particular, recent research advances in engineered skeletal muscle tissue have broadened the possibilities of applications in nonclinical models. However, due to the lack of adipose tissue, current engineered skeletal muscle tissue has the limitation of satisfying in vivo-like position and proportion of intermuscular fat. Adipose tissue within the skeletal muscle affects their functional ...

The relative intensities of the Cu 2p Ba 3d, and Y 3d core emissions have shown the diffraction-like dependence on the electron escape angle due to the spatial distribution of elements in the surface layer. The calculated results by the single scattering cluster model on the surface with the Cu-O outermost layer show a better agreement with the experiment than ...

2-Chloro-11-(2-dimethyl-aminoethoxy) dibenzo [b, f] thiepin (zotepine) is a new neuroleptic drug which is structurally different from known neuroleptics. Zotepine, chlorpromazine, propericiazine, and cyproheptadine inhibited hyperthermia induced by dosing with fenfluramine in rats in a warm environment (26-28 degrees C). Fenfluramine is known to induce hyperthermia by mediation of central serotonin. Zotepine had a 10 times or greater potency than chlorpromazine, propericiazine and cyproheptadine in ...

Human biomonitoring (HBM) data measured in specific contexts or populations provide information for comparing population exposures. There are numerous health-based biomonitoring guidance values, but to locate these values, interested parties need to seek them out individually from publications, governmental reports, websites and other sources.
