Journal ArticleDOI
A theory of fluorescence polarization decay in membranes.
TL;DR: The theory is useful for the analysis of fluorescence polarization decay in any system where the orientation of fluorophore is restricted by the surrounding structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adult male rat hippocampus synthesizes estradiol from pregnenolone by cytochromes P45017α and P450 aromatase localized in neurons
Yasushi Hojo,Taka-aki Hattori,Taihei Enami,A. Furukawa,Kumiko Suzuki,Hirotaka Ishii,Hideo Mukai,John H. Morrison,William G.M. Janssen,Shiro Kominami,Nobuhiro Harada,Tetsuya Kimoto,Suguru Kawato +12 more
TL;DR: Results imply that 17beta-estradiol is synthesized by P45017alpha and P450 aromatase localized in hippocampal neurons from endogenous cholesterol, and may be regulated by a glutamate-mediated synaptic communication that evokes Ca(2+) signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic Structure of Lipid Bilayers Studied by Nanosecond Fluorescence Techniques
TL;DR: The decay curves of r(t) indicates that the orientational motion of DPH in the hydrocarbon region is described by a wobbling diffusion restricted by a certain anisotropic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurosteroid Synthesis by Cytochrome P450-Containing Systems Localized in the Rat Brain Hippocampal Neurons: N-Methyl-d-Aspartate and Calcium-Dependent Synthesis

TL;DR: Observations imply that hippocampal neurons synthesize neurosteroids, which may be stimulated and regulated by glutamate-mediated synaptic communication.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Two types of independent synaptic plasticity, long‐term depression and spinogenesis, were investigated, in response to 17β‐estradiol and agonists of estrogen receptors using hippocampal slices from adult male rats, and it was demonstrated that estradiol rapidly enhanced LTD not only in CA1 but also in CA3 and dentate gyrus.
