Regional vascular selectivity of angiotensin II.
To examine the actions of angiotensin II on regional vascular resistances, we monitored regional blood flows and cardiac output with transit-time flow probes and thermodilution, respectively, in anesthetized rats. To remove the influence of endogenous angiotensin II, rats were pretreated with captopril (30 mg/kg intravenously). Intravenous infusions of angiotensin II were used to produce circul...

متن کاملNovel antipsychotics and acute dystonic reactions.
The growing use of atypical antipsychotics has led to a decrease of acute dystonic reactions (ADR). To evaluate the prevalence of ADR, we recorded all ADR occurring in a population of patients consecutively admitted to a psychiatric intensive care unit. Among 1337 cases treated with antipsychotics, we observed 41 cases (3.1%) affected by ADR. At discharge, mean chlorpromazine-equivalent daily d...

متن کاملRegional Lysosomal Malfunction Underlies the Selectivity of α-Synuclein Neurodegeneration
Dysfunction of protein homoeostasis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a diverse array of neurodegenerative disorders. However, each neurodegenerative disease is characterized by the accumulation of particular proteins in select regions of the brain. It remains unclear how dysfunction of a ubiquitous protein degradation pathway results in distinct pathologies. α-Synuclein is a protein w...
