Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of neuron-specific (NSE) and non-neuronal (NNE) isoenzymes of enolase in rat, monkey and human nervous tissue.
TL;DR: Four double antibody solid‐phase radioimmunoassay systems are described for the measurement of neuron‐specific enolase (NSE) and non‐neuronal enolases (NNE) from rat, monkey and human brain tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental profile of neuron-specific (NSE) and non-neuronal (NNE) enolase
TL;DR: In E60 and E100 monkey brain tissue NSE/NNE ratios are higher in regions containing older neurons, which suggests that a similar switch from NNE to NSE also occurs during neuronal development in monkey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purinergic inhibition of diazepam binding to rat brain (in vitro).
Paul J. Marangos,Steven M. Paul,Alexandra M. Parma,Frederick K. Goodwin,Peter J. Syapin,Phil Skolnick +5 more
TL;DR: Data are presented which show that the xanthine stimulants caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine as well as the central nervous system convulsant pentylenetetrazol all competitively inhibit [ 3 H] diazepam binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic caffeine consumption increases the number of brain adenosine receptors.
TL;DR: Preliminary data seem to confirm the involvement of the adenosine receptors in the mode of action of caffeine and may be relevant to the development of both tolerance and dependence to some of the central effects of this compound.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific and potent interactions of carbamazepine with brain adenosine receptors.
Paul J. Marangos,Robert M. Post,Jitendra Patel,Karl J. Zander,Alexandra M. Parma,Susan R.B. Weiss +5 more
TL;DR: No correlation was observed between the potency of a series of carbamazepine analogs as inhibitors of either adenosine receptor binding and their ability to inhibit electroshock-induced convulsions, suggesting that the anticonvulsant properties of these agents are not mediated by the adenosin receptor.
