Prostaglandins and the central nervous system.
PROSTAGLANDINS (PGs) are natural constituents of the brain and spinal cord. They are released from the central nervous system (CNS) spontaneously, in response to electrical and chemical stimulation and during fever. In addition to their action on brain-stem neurones when applied iontophoretically (Avanzino, Bradley and Wolstencroft, 1966) they have potent CNS effects which are now considered. B...
متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
متن کاملThe role of prostaglandins in the central nervous system.
The prostaglandin system is implicated in physiological and pathological responses of most tissues of the body. The background and breadth of this subject are documented in many reviews and recent symposia (15,25,27, 28,51, 108, 112, 114, 135). This review on the eNS covers advances in the past three years and concerns specifically the possible involvement of the prostaglandin system in the reg...
متن کاملWhy does the central nervous system not regenerate after injury?
A major problem for neuroscientists and clinicians is why the central nervous system shows ineffective regeneration after injury. Injured peripheral nerve fibers reform their connections, whereas those in injured spinal cord never re-grow. Insights into the mechanisms for repair and restoration of function after spinal cord injury have been obtained by experiments showing that injured nerve cel...
متن کاملP124: Listeriosis in Central Nervous System
Listeriosis is one of the CNS inflammatory diseases which is happened majority in the form of sporadic. Listeriosis is ingested with the food. Infection occurrence in an exposed person depends on the number of organisms ingested, the virulence of the organisms strain and the individual condition. It is known that Listeriosis has decisive importance as an infection which the cellular immunodefen...
