Evidence That the ZNT3 Protein Controls the Total Amount of Elemental Zinc in Synaptic Vesicles

TL;DR: A novel technique, microprobe synchrotron X-ray fluorescence, reveals that the normal 2- to 3-fold elevation of zinc concentration normally present in the hippocampal mossy fibers is absent in Slc30a3 knockout (ZNT3) mice, confirming the metal-transporting role of the ZNT3 protein in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Labeling of the neurons of origin of zinc-containing pathways by intraperitoneal injections of sodium selenite

TL;DR: It is presented evidence, in the rat, that zinc-selenium precipitates formed in vivo after intraperitoneal injections of sodium selenite are translocated by colchicine-sensitive retrograde transport to neural perikarya when animals are allowed to survive 12-24 h after the selenites administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution of histochemically reactive zinc in the forebrain of the rat.

TL;DR: The major cytoarchitectonic regions of the rat brain that stain with the Timm-Danscher metal stain were tested with the fluorescent probe for zinc, 6-methoxy 8-para toluene sulfonamide quinoline (TSQ), and it was concluded that theTimm- Danscher staining generally indicates zinc-containing axonal boutons.

Making apparatus for conducting biochemical analyses

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-contained apparatus for conducting bio-chemical reactions and analyses is formed in a compact structure made from a substrate which includes a plurality of reaction chambers and a pluralityof analysis chambers which are in fluid communication with the reaction chambers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Raphe unit activity in freely moving cats: Effects of benzodiazepines

TL;DR: Raphe unit activity remained suppressed during phasic increases in EMG activity during eating, grooming, or predatory behavior, suggesting that benzodiazepines also have a direct inhibitory action on raphe cells.
