TL;DR: DSP-4 crosses the placental barrier because when it was given to pregnant rats at the end of gestation, long-term changes were found in brain NA levels in their offspring, similar to those produced by the neonatal administration of the compound.
TL;DR: The results indicate that DSP4 may be a useful denervation tool for studying various aspects of noradrenergic neurotransmission of developing locus coeruleus neurons.
TL;DR: The results indicate that an intact noradrenergic system may be crucial for the observed ability of exercise to enhance full-length and exon I hippocampal BDNF mRNA expression, and suggest that the promoter linked toExon I may provide a major regulatory point for BDNF RNA expression in the dentate gyrus.
TL;DR: Presynaptic PFC alpha2-adrenoreceptor (AR) binding site density, as determined by 3H-RX821002, suggests that axons from surviving noradrenergic neurons in the LC are sprouting to the PFC of subjects with dementia, and changes in postsynaptic AR would suggest a reduced function of the P FC.
TL;DR: Results support the hypothesis that central noradrenergic mechanisms facilitate nigrostriatal and mesolimbic dopamine transmission in vivo and selectively reduce regional levels of Noradrenaline in the brain.
