Rats exposed to fast 24 MeV electrons (100 Gy) at the state of early transient incapacity (ETI) exhibited active release and reuptake of dopamine in nerve terminals of the striatum. No changes in the indices under study were found in rats exposed to 25 Gy radiation that did not cause the ETI development. The in vitro irradiation of the isolated synaptosomes (100 Gy) inhibited dopamine reuptake and increased the number of sites of 3H-spiperone binding to D2-receptors in a membrane fraction isolated from the striatum.

Exercise-induced cytosolic calcium oscillations: mechanisms and modulation of T-cell function.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun

January 2025

School of Physical Education, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), Wuhan, China. Electronic address:

This study investigated time-dependent changes in intracellular Ca⁺ levels in T cells, regulatory mechanisms, and functional effects after acute exercise. Male C57BL/6 mice were assigned to control and exercise groups, with the latter sacrificed at different intervals post-exercise. Murine splenic lymphocytes were isolated, and cytosolic Ca⁺ levels were measured using Fluo-3/AM.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common pediatric psychiatric disorders and is frequently diagnosed and treated by pediatricians. Stimulant medications are the first-line treatment for ADHD but may not be a good fit for many patients due to side effects, inadequate treatment response, or family preference. Non-stimulant ADHD medications provide a useful alternative for patients that cannot tolerate stimulants, have an incomplete treatment response to stimulants, are at risk for stimulant diversion, or whose family prefers to avoid stimulants.

We examined DA activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and nucleus accumbens core (NAcc) in two Different Rat Models of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHR) Versus Lphn3 Knockout Rats. We examined baseline stimulation-evoked phasic DA release, half-life, and DA autoreceptor (DAR) functioning in the mPFC and NAcc, as well as the response to nomifensine (10 mg/kg, IP), a DA transporter (DAT) blocker, on these measures in the NAcc. Both rat models were hypodopaminergic, with notable regional and mechanistic differences.

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome in a methylphenidate-treated patient: a case report.

BMC Neurol

December 2024

Pharmacovigilance, Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Information Centre, Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Rennes University Hospital, Rennes, 35033, France.

Background: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by severe headaches, often thunderclap headaches, and a multifocal constriction of the cerebral arteries. Although RCVS can occur spontaneously, some cases occur after exposure to drugs. We describe the first case of RCVS in which methylphenidate, a drug with vasoconstrictive properties, is the only suspected drug.
