UNLABELLED
Previous experiments conducted in this laboratory showed that administration of high-dose D-fenfluramine (D-FEN) and p-chloroamphetamine (PCA) decreased 5-HT transporter (SERT) binding and… (More)
BACKGROUND
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children and the incidence of ALL varies by ethnicity. Although accumulating evidence indicates inherited predisposition to… (More)
A total of 51 potential pathogenic vibrios were isolated from moribund silver seabream Sparus sarba, which were collected from local fish farms of Hong Kong. All the isolates were classified and… (More)
We showed that the serotonin (5-HT) neurotoxin 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) reduces brain tissue 5-HT, decreases expression of 5-HT transporter (SERT) protein, and increases expression of glial… (More)
Salvia divinorum is a natural occurring hallucinogen that is traditionally used by the Mazatec Indians of central Mexico. The diterpene salvinorin A was identified as an active component of S.… (More)
A series of pyrido- and pyrimidomorphinans (6a-h and 7a-g) were synthesized from naltrexone and evaluated for binding and biological activity at the opioid receptors. The unsubstituted pyridine 6a… (More)
After flower pollination, a programmed process called abscission occurs in which unwanted floral organs are actively shed from the main plant body. We found that a member of the DOF (for DNA binding… (More)
(3R)-7-Hydroxy-N-((1S)-1-[[(3R,4R)-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-3,4-dimethyl-1-piperidinyl]methyl]-2-methylpropyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-isoquinolinecarboxamide (JDTic) was identified as a potent and selective… (More)
RGS proteins are a recently described class of regulators that influence G-protein-mediated signaling pathways. We have shown previously that chronic morphine results in functional uncoupling of the… (More)
