Journal ArticleDOI

AM251, a selective antagonist of the CB1 receptor, inhibits the induction of long-term potentiation and induces retrograde amnesia in rats.

TL;DR: The role of the selective CB1 antagonist AM251 upon LTP induction in a hippocampal slice preparation is studied, and the effect of its intrahippocampal administration in the step-down inhibitory avoidance (IA) and the open field habituation tasks (OF).
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy induces eosinophil extracellular traps formation and allergic airway inflammation in a murine asthma model.

TL;DR: Investigation of autophagy involvement in EETs release and in lung inflammation in an experimental asthma model shows that 3‐MA treatment can be an interesting alternative for reducing lung inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and E ETs formation in asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered distribution of striatal activity-dependent synaptic plasticity in the 3-nitropropionic acid model of Huntington's disease.

TL;DR: The results reinforce the idea that both forms of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity can be recorded at the dorsolateral region of striatum by the same stimulating protocol in control rats and suggest that 3-NP-induced striatal lesions may be associated with suppression of LTD expression in the sensorimotor striatum.
