Essential role of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 in cardiac development and function.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1996-11-12)
The beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 (beta ARK1) is a member of the G protein-coupled
receptor kinase (GRK) family that mediates the agonist-dependent phosphorylation and
desensitization of G protein-coupled receptors. ...
Expansion of the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor family: cloning and characterization of a human alpha 2-adrenergic receptor subtype, the gene for which is located on chromosome 2.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1990-07)
Pharmacologic, biochemical, and genetic analyses have demonstrated the existence of
multiple alpha 2-adrenergic receptor (alpha 2AR) subtypes. We have cloned a human
alpha 2AR by using the polymerase chain reaction with ...
Diminishment of respiratory sinus arrhythmia foreshadows doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy.
(Circulation, 1991-08)
BACKGROUND: The development of a microcomputer-based device permits quick, simple,
and noninvasive quantification of the respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) during quiet
breathing. METHODS AND RESULTS: We prospectively and ...
EAE cerebrospinal fluid augments in vitro phagocytosis and metabolism of CNS myelin by macrophages.
(J Neurosci Res, 1992-07)
Previous studies from this laboratory have shown that CNS myelin is phagocytized and
metabolized by cultured rat macrophages to a much larger extent when myelin is pretreated
with serum containing antibodies to ...
The 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein (Hsc73) gene is enhanced by ovarian hormones in the ventromedial hypothalamus.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1999-02-16)
Estrogen (E) and progesterone (P) orchestrate many cellular responses involved in
female reproductive physiology, including reproductive behaviors. E- and P-binding
neurons important for lordosis behavior have been located ...
The distribution of autobiographical memories across the lifespan.
(Mem Cognit, 1997-11)
Words were used to cue autobiographical memories from 20- and 70-year-old subjects.
Both groups showed a decrease in memories from the childhood years and a power-function
retention function for their most recent 10 years. ...
Properties of word cues for autobiographical memory.
(Psychol Rep, 1997-08)
A sample of 124 words were used to cue autobiographical memories in 120 adults varying
in age from 20 to 73 years. Individual words reliably cued autobiographical memories
of different ages with different speeds. For all ...
For whom the bird sings: context-dependent gene expression.
(Neuron, 1998-10)
Male zebra finches display two song behaviors: directed and undirected singing. The
two differ little in the vocalizations produced but greatly in how song is delivered.
"Directed" song is usually accompanied by a courtship ...
Brain gene regulation by territorial singing behavior in freely ranging songbirds.
(Neuroreport, 1997-05-27)
To investigate the ecological relevance of brain gene regulation associated with singing
behavior in songbirds, we challenged freely ranging song sparrows with conspecific
song playbacks within their breeding territories. ...
Music, emotion, and autobiographical memory: they're playing your song.
(Mem Cognit, 1999-11)
Very long-term memory for popular music was investigated. Older and younger adults
listened to 20-sec excerpts of popular songs drawn from across the 20th century. The
subjects gave emotionality and preference ratings and ...
