During postnatal development endogenous neurosteroids influence GABA-ergic neurotransmission of mouse cortical neurons
As neuronal development progresses, GABAergic synaptic transmission undergoes a defined program of reconfiguration. For example, GABAA receptor (GABAAR)-mediated synaptic currents, (miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents; mIPSCs), which initially exhibit a relatively slow decay phase, become progressively reduced in duration, thereby supporting the temporal resolution required for mature ne...
متن کاملEndogenous neuroprotective factors: neurosteroids.
Neurosteroids are a group of steroid hormones synthesized by the brain in the presence of steroidogenic enzymes. Specific neurosteroids modulate function of several receptors, and also regulate growth of neurons, myelinization and synaptogenesis in the central nervous system. Some neurosteroids have been shown to display neuroprotective properties, which may have important implications for thei...
متن کاملNitric Oxide Signaling Modulates Synaptic Transmission during Early Postnatal Development
Early γ-aminobutyric acid mediated (GABAergic) synaptic transmission and correlated neuronal activity are fundamental to network formation; however, their regulation during early postnatal development is poorly understood. Nitric oxide (NO) is an important retrograde messenger at glutamatergic synapses, and it was recently shown to play an important role also at GABAergic synapses in the adult ...
متن کاملThe Localization of Endogenous Peroxidase in the Lacrimal Gland of the Rat during Postnatal Development
The distribution of endogenous peroxidase activity in the lacrimal gland of the rat during postnatal development was investigated by electron microscope cytochemistry Peroxidase activity is first found 6 hr after birth in only a few acinar cells At this stage, reaction product fills only localized segments of the scant rough endoplasmic reticulum and of the perinuclear cisternae. Peroxidase act...
متن کاملLow endogenous glucocorticoid allows induction of kidney cortical cyclooxygenase-2 during postnatal rat development.
In postnatal weeks 2-4, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is induced in the rat kidney cortex where it is critically involved in final stages of kidney development. We examined whether changes in circulating gluco- or mineralocorticosteroids or in their renal receptors regulate postnatal COX-2 induction. Plasma corticosterone concentration peaked at birth, decreased to low levels at days 3-13, and incre...
