introduction: previous studies have demonstrated that the &beta-adrenergic; receptor antagonist propranolol impairs fear memory reconsolidation in experimental animals. there are experimental parameters such as the age and the strength of memory that can interact with pharmacological manipulations of memory reconsolidation. in this study, we investigated the ability of the age and the strength ...

Histamine has positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart which are not abolished by beta adrenergic-blocking agents. Since the positive inotropic and chronotropic effects of other hormones on the heart are thought to be mediated by cyclic 3',5'-AMP, we examined the effect of histamine on adenyl cyclase in particulate preparations of guinea pig, cat, and human myocardium. Histamine...

A mixture of acetaminophen, diphenhydramine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is used for the symptomatic treatment of common cold. In this study, a derivative spectrophotometric method based on zero-crossing technique was proposed for simultaneous determination of acetaminophen, diphenhydramine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. Determination of these drugs was perf...
