Relaxation of Androgens on Rat Thoracic Aorta: Testosterone Concentration Dependent Agonist/Antagonist l-Type Ca2+ Channel Activity, and 5β-Dihydrotestosterone Restricted to l-Type Ca2+ Channel Blockade
Luis M. Montaño,Eduardo Calixto,Alejandra Figueroa,Edgar Flores-Soto,Verónica Carbajal,Mercedes Perusquía +5 more
TL;DR: The data show that 5beta-DHT-induced vasorelaxation is due to its selective blockade on L-VOCCs (from nm to microm concentrations), but testosterone- induced vasore laxation involves concentration-dependent additional mechanisms: acting as an L- VOCCs antagonist at low concentrations, and increasing [Ca(2+)]i and cAMP production at high concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A non-invasive method to isolate the neuronal linage from the nasal epithelium from schizophrenic and bipolar diseases
Gloria Benítez-King,A. Riquelme,L. Ortíz-López,C. Berlanga,M.S. Rodríguez-Verdugo,F. Romo,Eduardo Calixto,Héctor Solís-Chagoyán,M. Jiménez,Luis M. Montaño,Gerardo Ramírez-Rodríguez,S. Morales-Mulia,Aline Domínguez-Alonso +12 more
TL;DR: Data support that neural precursors obtained from a nasal exfoliate are an excellent experimental model to later approach studies on biomarkers, neural development and cellular alterations in the pathophysiology of SZ and BD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibitory interactions between 5-HT3 and P2X channels in submucosal neurons
TL;DR: Kinetic and pharmacological properties of I(5-HT+ATP) indicate that they are carried through 5-HT(3) and P2X channels, in agreement with a model that considers that 5- HT(3), P2x channels are in functional clusters and that these channels might directly inhibit each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Androgens Induce Relaxation of Contractile Activity in Pregnant Human Myometrium at Term: A Nongenomic Action on L-Type Calcium Channels
TL;DR: Observations demonstrate that androgens may play a crucial role in maintaining pregnancy and the blockade of l-type calcium channels seems to be involved in the nongenomic relaxing action of androgens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Androgens are bronchoactive drugs that act by relaxing airway smooth muscle and preventing bronchospasm.
TL;DR: It is suggested that androgen-induced brochorelaxation was mediated via decreased Ca(2+) influx through L-type Ca( 2+)channels but additional Ca(1+) entry blockade may be involved.
