γ1- and γ2-melanocyte stimulating hormones induce central anxiogenic effects and potentiate ethanol withdrawal responses in the elevated plus-maze test in mice
(Elsevier, 2009)
Little is known about the endogenous functions of γ1- and γ2-melanocyte stimulating hormones (γ1- and
γ2-MSH). Although γ-MSHs bind to melanocortin receptor subtypes 3 and 4, we have previously shown that
these peptides ...
Lunasin-induced behavioural effects in mice: Focus on the dopaminergic system
(Elsevier, 2013)
The present study for the first time is devoted to identify central effects of synthetic lunasin, a
43 amino acid peptide. A markedly expressed neuroleptic/cataleptic effect was observed at low
(0.1–10 nmol/mouse) centrally ...
Carnitine congener mildronate protects against stress- and haloperidol-induced impairment in memory and brain protein expression in rats
(Elsevier, 2014)
The present study investigates the efficacy of mildronate, a carnitine congener, to protect stress and haloperidol-induced impairment of memory in rats and the expression of brain protein biomarkers involved in synaptic ...
