TL;DR: Results indicate that the DA receptor involved in regulating the activity of striatal cholinergic neurons is of the D2-type.
Abstract: The dopamine (DA)-receptor mediated changes in striatal acetylcholine (ACh) levels have been studied to determine if this effect involves a D1-(adenylate cyclase dependent) or D2-(not linked to an adenylate cyclase) type of DA-receptor. Various DA-agonists (apomorphine, N-diphenethylamine derivatives) increased striatal ACh levels in both intact and 6-OHDA lesioned rats whereas only apomorphine stimulated the adenylate cyclase activity of striatal homogenates. The N-diphenethylamine compounds (RU 24213, RU 24926 and RU 26933) were without effect either on basal or DA-stimulated activities of this enzyme. In contrast, D-LSD (which acts as a partial agonist of the striatal DA-sensitive adenylate cyclase) did not modify the striatal ACh content. More interestingly, an intrastriatal injection of cholera toxin greatly stimulated striatal adenylate cyclase without altering ACh concentrations. Both haloperidol and methergoline antagonized the DA stimulation of adenylate cyclase, but only haloperidol decreased striatal ACh levels. These results indicate that the DA receptor involved in regulating the activity of striatal cholinergic neurons is of the D2-type.

TL;DR: It was possible to detect a 7S peak in uterine cytosol obtained from rabbits injected with a tracer dose of [3H]R 5020 1 h prior to sacrifice, and Bound endogenous progesterone was exchanged by tritiated R 5020 in a time compatible with receptor stability.
Abstract: An exchange assay for the measurement of total cytoplasmic progestin binding sites has been developed on rabbit uterine cytosol using the highly potent progestin, R5020 (17,21-dimethyl-19-nor-4,9- pregnadiene- 3,20-dione) labelled to a high specific activity. This compound has several advantages over progesterone: it is not bound by plasma corticosteroid binding globulin; it has high affinity for the progestin receptor; it binds virtually as fast as progesterone to the receptor, but the complex formed dissociates 8 times slower; its binding is not displaced by more than 2% by compounds devoid of progestational activity (estrogens, testosterone, dexamethasone, aldosterone). Bound endogenous progesterone was exchanged by tritiated R 5020 in a time compatible with receptor stability. At 0 C, total exchange of filled sites occurred in less than 4 h; at this temperature the R 5020-receptor complex was stable for at least 28 h. The conformation of the R 5020-receptor complex was investigated in sucrose density ...

TL;DR: Alternansucrase, a glucosyltransferase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1355, was produced by fed-batch cultures and purified by two-phase partition with polyethylene glycol, eliminating the contaminating dextransucrase activity.

TL;DR: Findings show that RU 486 prevented ovulation by diminishing pituitary gonadotropin secretion, rather than by direct effects on ovarian folliculogenesis, and induced amenorrhea by inhibiting estrogen-induced endometrial proliferation.

TL;DR: The increase in litter size through feeding altrenogest was associated with an increased ovulation rate and the decrease in foetal survival through feeding control gilts was associatedwith an increased Ovulation rate.
