Estradiol Affects Prolactin Producing Cells and Calcium levels in a Teleost, Heteropneustesfossilis, Kept in Different Calcium Concentrations
Background: This study investigated the effects of estradiol on plasma calcium and prolactin cells of Heteropneustes fossilis kept in calcium-deficient and normal freshwater. Methods: Fish were deprived of food and divided into groups A-D. Group A and B were kept in artificial freshwater with normal electrolytes. Group C and D were maintained in calcium-deficient freshwater. Vehicle was admin...
متن کاملA slowly inactivating potassium current in CA3 pyramidal cells of rat hippocampus in vitro.
The time- and voltage-dependent properties of a slowly inactivating K+ current were investigated by using the single-electrode current- and voltage-clamp recording technique in CA3 hippocampal cells of organotypic slice cultures. After a period of prolonged hyperpolarization, the onset of action-potential discharge in response to depolarizing current injection was delayed by several seconds. Th...
متن کاملA slowly inactivating potassium current truncates spike activity in ganglion cells of the tiger salamander retina.
Voltage-gated ganglion cell membrane currents were studied under whole-cell patch clamp in isolation and in retinal slices. The cells were identified by (1) backfilling their axons with rhodamine and later identifying them by their fluorescence in the slice or the mix of isolated cells or (2) by filling them with Lucifer yellow during recording in retinal slices. Both methods yielded cells with...
متن کاملHippocalcin Functions as a Calcium Sensor in Hippocampal LTD
It is not fully understood how NMDAR-dependent LTD causes Ca(2+)-dependent endocytosis of AMPARs. Here we show that the neuronal Ca(2+) sensor hippocalcin binds the beta2-adaptin subunit of the AP2 adaptor complex and that along with GluR2 these coimmunoprecipitate in a Ca(2+)-sensitive manner. Infusion of a truncated mutant of hippocalcin (HIP(2-72)) that lacks the Ca(2+) binding domains preve...
متن کاملA flagellum-specific calcium sensor.
The flagellar calcium-binding protein (FCaBP) of the flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi associates with the flagellar membrane via its N-terminal myristate and palmitate moieties in a calcium-modulated, conformation-dependent manner. This mechanism of localization is similar to that described for neuronal calcium sensors, which undergo calcium-dependent changes in conformation, which modul...
