The mechanism of antiviral action of tricyclodecan-9-yl-xanthogenate (D609) was investigated in vitro. D609 inhibited herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) replication without apparent cytotoxicity. It reduced phosphorylation of virus-infected cell…
Some investigators have reported that endogenous beta-adrenoceptor tone can provide protection against acute lung injury. Therefore, we tested the effects of beta-adrenoceptor inhibition in mice with acute Escherichia coli pneumonia. Mice were…
We report that stimulation inducing long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 pyramidal cell layer of the hippocampus evokes significant increases in both BDNF and NT-3 mRNAs in CA1 neurons. No changes in BDNF or NT-3 mRNA levels were seen in the…
