Ultratrace Neurotransmitters SERS Sensing
… for example dopamine molecules as well as other neurotransmitters (NTs), which are the focus within this thesis. Two binding methods of NTs to SERS substrates will be covered: by Cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n]) and by Fe(III) ions. The fundamental resonance modes of NTs molecules and ultratrace NTs SERS …

Regulation of Endogenous Excitatory Neurotransmitters by Isoprostanes
We have evidence that isoprostanes (IsoPs) regulate exogenously applied excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter glutamate in bovine retina, in vitro. However, the regulation of retinal endogenous glutamateby IsoPs is unknown. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of …

Analysis of non-classical neurotransmitters using capillary electrophoresis
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a powerful tool for the analysis of complex microenvironments and has found widespread applicability to studies in neuroscience. Depending upon the selectivity and sensitivity requirements of the particular application, a variety of detection schemes for CE are …

Modulation of Neutrophil Functions by Neurotransmitters Implicated in Stress
<p>Stress has long been implicated in immune modulation. People under chronic stress have no change in the circulating basal levels of catecholamines while plasma levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY) are significantly increased. Sympathetic nerve fibers with NPY have been found to innervate immune …

Green Carbon Quantum Dots Based Electrochemical Sensors for Analysis of Neurotransmitters
… modification of a glassy carbon electrode for neurotransmitters detection (dopamine (DA), epinephrine (EP), and norepinephrine (NE)). The two carbon-based quantum dots were prepared from pencil graphite and banana peel precursors and tagged CQDs and bCQDs, respectively. The spectroscopic and …

Development of Electrochemical Sensors Suitable for In Vivo Detection for Neurotransmitters
<p>The electrochemical method of redox cycling was exploited to achieve new discoveries in neurotransmitter detection and to advance its suitability toward in vivo use. Redox cycling has advantages in signal amplification, selectivity of species based on their electrochemical reaction mechanisms, …

Regulation of Cerebellar Purkinje Cell Development: Interactions Between Trophic Factors and Neurotransmitters
… Furthermore, NGF together with the excitatory neurotransmitters, aspartate or glutamate, promoted a 2-fold increase in survival. In addition, NGF increased Purkinje cell size and promoted neurite elaboration. These effects required simultaneous exposure to NGF and either aspartate, glutamate or …

Protein Synthesis Inhibitors Impair Memory by Disrupting Release of Neurotransmitters Important for Memory Modulation
… by altering release of the biogenic amines, neurotransmitters important for modulating the strength of memory. We tested this hypothesis using two protein synthesis inhibitors, anisomycin, a non-selective protein synthesis inhibitor, and CREB antisense, which impairs CREB-mediated gene …

The Roles of Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Neurotransmitters in an Animal Model of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
… acid (VA) on inflammation/oxidative stress and neurotransmitters. Finally, we employed the selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) sertraline to ascertain why SSRIs have historically been ineffective in treating PTSD. Taken together, our findings indicate inflammation, oxidative stress, …

Integrated Entrainment of the Suprachiasmatic Clock by the Two Neurotransmitters of the Retinohypothalamic Tract, Glutamate and PACAP
The functional interaction between PACAP and Glu was then investigated. PACAP blocked the phase advance normally induced by Glu at late night, while anti-PACAP reagents augmented the Glu-induced phase advance in the SCN slice as well as the light-induced phase advance in vivo. In the early night, …
