Agonist-mediated regulation of presynaptic receptor function during development of rat septal neurons in culture.

abstract：:The Na(+)-glutamate cotransporters are believed to countertransport OH- and K+. Previous evidence that the velocity of glutamate uptake can exceed the acid extrusion capacity of astrocytes raised the question of whether intracellular pH can become rate limiting for glutamate uptake. Cytoplasmic buffering capacity and ...

abstract：:Bone fracture at the acute stage of stroke exacerbates stroke injury by increasing neuroinflammation. We hypothesize that activation of α-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α-7 nAchR) attenuates neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, and reduces brain injury in mice with bone fracture and stroke.
