Prostacyclin synthase is localized in rat, bovine and human neuronal brain cells.

Abstract:

:Using a new polyclonal antibody against prostacyclin (PGI2)-synthase this enzyme was shown to be present in neuronal cells of bovine, rat and human brain, most abundantly in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum and cortical neurons, but not in glial cells. Western blots confirmed the specificity of the antibody and applied to enriched neuronal and astrocyte cultures supported these immunohistochemical data. It was further shown that staining with an anti-nitrotyrosine antibody was positive for PGI2-synthase containing cells. Possible physiological and/or pathophysiological functions of the enzyme in brain are discussed.

  • Olfactory deprivation enhances normal spine loss in the olfactory bulb of developing ferrets.

    abstract::Ferrets show a sensitive phase in their postnatal development during which they can become imprinted to food odors. At the same time the number of granule cell spines in the olfactory bulb reaches a maximum, declining significantly thereafter. In ferrets, exposed continuously to saturated levels of geraniol odor in th...
