Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake of serotonin by human platelets and its relevance to CNS involvement in hypertension
TL;DR: It appears that a deficiency of serotonin centrally may lead to disinhibition of the serotonergic mechanisms leading to hypertension, which may co-exist with an over-activity of catecholaminergic neurones in essential hypertension, discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of alcohols on the permeability of blood-brain barrier.
TL;DR: The increase in permeability of blood-brain barrier could be correlated to the lipid solubility of alcohols and this effect was concentration-dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new potent anti-inflammatory quinazolone.
TL;DR: 2-homopiperidino methyl-3-(o-tolyl)-4-(3H)-6-iodoquinazolone was found to be most potent and seems promising as an anti-inflammatory agent in the preliminary studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel appearance of placental nuclear monoamine oxidase: biochemical and histochemical evidence for hyperserotonomic state in preeclampsia-eclampsia.
TL;DR: In this article, the relevance of placental monoamine oxidase at the subcellular level in the etiology of the hyperserotonomic state in preeclampsia-eclampsias was explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of serotonin in platelets in essential hypertension.
TL;DR: Regression analysis of the data indicated a significant correlation between rise in diastolic blood pressure and changes in 5-HT kinetics in hypertensive platelets.
