Starting with liver mRNA from cadmium chloride-treated rats, we constructed a cDNA library. A mouse metallothionein 1 (MT-1) cDNA restriction fragment (Durnam et al. 1980) was used as a hybridization probe to isolate from this library a cDNA (p2A10) which is a nearly complete copy of the rat MT-1 mRNA sequence. Southern analysis of rat DNA, using p2A10 as a probe, together with the screening of a rat genomic library, reveal that the rat MT-1 gene belongs to a family of related sequences. The rat MT-1 gene is inducible both by glucocorticoids and by metals.

Exposure of organisms to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF; 50 Hz) has been increasing in recent decades, which is connected with dynamic technological development. ELF-EMF is considered a stress factor and its effects on organisms are still being investigated. We aimed to determine its impact on the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic (LC-NA) system enabling adaptation to stressful conditions.

Ethnopharmacological Prevalence: Hyperglycemia in diabetes increases the generation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) through non-enzymatic reactions. The interaction between AGEs and their receptors (RAGE) leads to oxidative and inflammatory stress, which plays a pivotal role in developing diabetic nephropathy. Syzygium cumini (SC) L.

Magnetic technology has been a hotspot of neuromodulation research in recent years. However, magnetic coil is limited by their size, and it is impossible to realize precise targeted magnetic stimulation to the target area at the cellular scale. To this end, this study designs a 1 × 4 array micro-magnetic stimulation (μMS) device with four sub-millimeter-sized elements, enabling precise magnetic stimulation of the CA1-CA3-DG tri-synaptic positions in the rat hippocampal region.

Single-pass intestinal perfusion (SPIP) method is a widely used experimental model to determine the intestinal permeability of drugs. These studies are performed in the presence of a reference standard (metoprolol, MT) and a zero permeability marker (phenol red, PR). Therefore, it is important to develop a validated method for simultaneous determination of the investigated compound along with MT and PR.

Sleep disorders affect millions of people around the world and have a high comorbidity with psychiatric disorders. While current hypnotics mostly increase non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS), drugs acting selectively on enhancing rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) are lacking. This polysomnographic study in male rats showed that the first-in-class selective melatonin MT receptor partial agonist UCM871 increases the duration of REMS without affecting that of NREMS.
