Journal ArticleDOI
Erythropoietin prevents cognition impairment induced by transient brain ischemia in gerbils
Maria Antonietta Catania,Maria C. Marciano,Alessandra Parisi,Alessio Sturiale,Michele Buemi,Giovanni Grasso,Francesco Squadrito,Achille P. Caputi,Gioacchino Calapai +8 more
TL;DR: Treatment with recombinant human erythropoietin significantly reduced delayed neuronal death in the CA1 area of the hippocampus and prevented cognition impairment in the passive avoidance test, indicating that neuroprotective effects in brain ischemia are associated with the preservation of learning function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food deprivation increases brain nitric oxide synthase and depresses brain serotonin levels in rats
Francesco Squadrito,Gioacchino Calapai,Domenica Altavilla,Domenico Cucinotta,Basilia Zingarelli,Giuseppe M. Campo,Vincenzo Arcoraci,Lidia Sautebin,G. Mazzaglia,Achille P. Caputi +9 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that NO might have a physiological role in the regulation of food intake and suggest that brain NO may modulate the central serotoninergic system and the role of NO in food deprivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine involvement in the antidepressant action of hypericum perforatum.
Gioacchino Calapai,Anna Crupi,Fabio Firenzuoli,Giuseppina Inferrera,Francesco Squadrito,Alessandra Parisi,G.B. De Sarro,Achille P. Caputi +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the neurotransmitters studied could be involved in the anti-immobility effects of hypericum, and suggest that its antidepressant action is probably mediated by serotonergic, noradrenergic and dopaminergic system activation.
Journal Article
Modulatory effect of brain acetylcholine on reflex-induced bradycardia and tachycardia in conscious rats.
TL;DR: The results suggest that brain acetylcholine has a modulatory effect on baroreceptor reflexes and operates through muscarinic receptors in reflex tachycardia and through both mus carinic and nicotinic receptors in Reflex bradycardia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prescribing patterns of antiepileptic drugs in Italy: a nationwide population-based study in the years 2000-2005.
Rodolfo Savica,Ettore Beghi,Giampiero Mazzaglia,F. Innocenti,Ovidio Brignoli,Claudio Cricelli,Achille P. Caputi,R. Musolino,Edoardo Spina,Gianluca Trifirò +9 more
TL;DR: An increasing use of AEDs has been recently observed over a 6‐year period in Italian general practice, mostly explained by newer compounds used for conditions other than epilepsy.
