Lead exposure impairs the NMDA agonist-induced NOS expression in pyramidal hippocampal cells
Chronic exposure to lead (Pb) affects neural functions in central nervous system (CNS) particularly the learning and memory. On the other hand, alteration of calcium level in the CNS results in activation of NOS. It has been shown that lead enters the neurons through calcium channels and displaces Ca2+ from calcium binding proteins such as calmodulin and troponin C thereby affecting calcium-med...

Background & Aim: treatment, as an estrogen antagonist, induces cell death in rat's developing hippocampus. Estrogen has avariety of physiological effects on the nervous system, including regulation of cognitive functions, learning,aging, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and neuroprotective effects. In the present study, we demonstrated theeffects of TAM as an estrogen antagonist on nitric oxide syn...
متن کاملIntramitochondrial [Ca2+] and membrane potential in ventricular myocytes exposed to anoxia-reoxygenation.
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of mitochondrial ionic homeostasis in promoting reoxygenation-induced hypercontracture in cardiac muscle. Mitochondrial membrane potential and intramitochondrial Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]) were measured using confocal imaging in guinea pig ventricular myocytes exposed to anoxia and reoxygenation. Anoxia produced a variable, but often profound, ...
متن کاملRegulation by calcium ions of pyruvate carboxylation, pyruvate transport, and adenine nucleotide transport in isolated rat liver mitochondria.
The activity of pyruvate carboxylase in isolated, tightly coupled, rat liver mitochondria was estimated by measuring the incorporation of H’ICO, into acid-stable metabolites in the presence of pyruvate and ATP. The addition of a given amount of Ca”+ (10 to 100 nmollmg of protein) to isolated mitochondria catalyzing the incorporation of H14C0,into acid-stable intermediates at a steady state rate...
