Distribution of indoleamines and [3H]paroxetine binding in rat brain regions following acute or perinatal delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol treatments.

abstract：:A very large body of evidence from in vivo studies has been accumulated on a link between the change of energy and cell survival/apoptosis. Using an in vitro ischemia model, we have previously shown that ischemia could induce apoptosis in astrocytes. In this study, we utilized the same in vitro model to investigate ch...
