Substance use attitudes and behaviors at three pharmacy colleges.
The objective of this study was to profile and compare alcohol and other drug (AOD) use attitudes and behaviors in three pharmacy colleges. Student surveys of AOD use attitudes and behaviors were conducted at one southwestern and two midwestern pharmacy colleges. Response was 86.5% (566/654). Reported past-year use included alcohol 82.8%, tobacco 25.4%, and marijuana 6.9%. Past-year AOD-associa...
متن کاملOctopamine Sensitivity of the Blood-brain Barrier of an Insect
Octopaminergic sensitivity of the glia that form the blood—brain barrier of the cockroach was examined using microelectrode recordings of the potential developed across this barrier layer, the perineurium. Exposure to 10~moll~ DL-octopamine had no significant effect upon the changes in potential induced by substitution of Tris for external sodium. Treatment with concentrations ranging from 10~m...
متن کاملEffects of Octopamine on Calcium Action Potentials in Insect Oocytes
Our experiments show that octopamine receptors are present on the developing follicles of an insect, Rhodniusprolixus. Application of D,L-octopamine decreased the duration and overshoot of calcium-dependent action potentials (APs), and increased the intrafollicular concentration of cyclic AMP. The threshold concentration of D,L-octopamine for the reduction in electrical excitability was between...
متن کاملDifferential peroxidase activities in three different crops upon insect feeding
Peroxidases are the ubiquitous enzyme and reported to be present in all living genera. They catalyses reduction of peroxide and generate reactive oxygen species. In the present study we demonstrated that insect infestation induces peroxidase activity in sap and total soluble protein (TSP) of plant leaves. Three important crop plants viz. tomato, cowpea and cotton were used for this study. After...
متن کاملa contrastive study of rhetorical functions of citation in iranian and international elt scopus journals
