Effects of propentofylline, a NGF synthesis stimulator, on alterations in muscarinic cholinergic receptors induced by basal forebrain lesion in rats.

abstract：:Hippocampal choline acetyltransferase was reduced by 89% in rats two weeks after electrolytic lesion of the septum. The hippocampal concentrations of somatostatin (SOM)-14, SOM-28 and high-molecular-weight SOM were unaltered, suggesting that the activity of hippocampal SOM neurones is not influenced by cholinergic aff...

abstract：:FasL has been shown to induce angiogenesis in vivo, however, the mechanism remains to be determined. We have previously shown that Fas ligation induces expression of chemokines such as interleukin-8 by human astrogliomas, which may partially explain the in vivo angiogenic property of FasL.
