Mucine-1 Is Related to Cell-Mediated Immunoexpression and Blood Pressure in Pulmonary Artery in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Preliminary Results
Background and aim : Mucine-1 (MUC1) increases in primary lung disease; however, no data are available on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Our aim was to analyze MUC1 in PAH and a possible link with pulmon...

In vivo expression of therapeutic human genes for dopamine production in the caudates of MPTP-treated monkeys using an AAV vector
An adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, expressing genes for human tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC), demonstrated significantly increased production of dopamine in 293 (hu...

SCH 23390 blocks drug-conditioned place-preference and place-aversion: anhedonia (lack of reward) or apathy (lack of motivation) after dopamine-receptor blockade?
The influence of the D1 antagonist SCH 23390 on the motivational properties of rewarding (morphine, nicotine and diazepam) and aversive (naloxone, phencyclidine and picrotoxin) drugs was studied in the rat in a t...

5HT3 receptor antagonists block morphine- and nicotine-but not amphetamine-induced reward
The effect of two potent and specific antagonists of 5HT3 receptors, ICS 205-930 and MDL 72222, on the reinforcing properties of amphetamine, morphine and nicotine was studied in rats. Durg-induced reinforcement ...
