Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Modulation of D1 and D2 Dopamine‐Sensitive Adenylate Cyclases by 17β‐Estradiol in Cultured Striatal Neurons and Anterior Pituitary Cells

TL;DR: An effect of 17β‐estradiol on DA target cells in both systems is demonstrated, suggesting that the steroid modifies the coupling process by a mechanism that still has to be elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alkaloids from Psychotria oleoides with activity on growth hormone release.

TL;DR: The structure and configuration of psycholeine was determined by spectroscopic means and chemical correlation with quadrigemine C, and the stereochemistry of quadrigmine C was suggested to be tetrameric pyrrolidinoindoline compound of unknown stereochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dual mechanisms of inhibition by dopamine of basal and thyrotropin-releasing hormone-stimulated inositol phosphate production in anterior pituitary cells. Evidence for an inhibition not mediated by voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the intracellular calcium concentrations that are measured under basal and TRH-stimulated conditions are sufficient to allow the maximal activity of phospholipase C which can be obtained under these two experimental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dihydropyridine-Sensitive Calcium Channel Activity Related to Prolactin, Growth Hormone, and Luteinizing Hormone Release from Anterior Pituitary Cells in Culture: Interactions with Somatostatin, Dopamine, and Estrogens*

TL;DR: DHP-sensitive voltage-dependent calcium channels of the L type present on different pituitary cells are not equally susceptible to BAYK activation under steady state basal conditions, indicating that their spontaneous activity and/or distribution vary according to the cell type; their activity is modulated by sex steroids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psycholeine, a natural alkaloid extracted from Psychotria oleoides, acts as a weak antagonist of somatostatin

TL;DR: The data suggest that psycholeine has antagonistic properties at the SRIF receptor, and Quadrigemine C, a precursor of psycholesoleine, has a similar action.
