TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs differentially regulate BDNF mRNA expression in rat hippocampus.
Abstract: Typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs, though both effective, act on different neurotransmitter receptors and are dissimilar in some clinical effects and side effects. The typical antipsychotic drug haloperidol has been shown to cause a decrease in the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which plays an important role in neuronal cell survival, differentiation, and neuronal connectivity. However, it is still unknown whether atypical antipsychotic drugs similarly regulate BDNF expression. We examined the effects of chronic (28 days) administration of typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs on BDNF mRNA expression in the rat hippocampus using in situ hybridization. Quantitative analysis revealed that the typical antipsychotic drug haloperidol (1 mg/kg) down-regulated BDNF mRNA expression in both CA1 (P < 0.05) and dentate gyrus (P < 0.01) regions compared with vehicle control. In contrast, the atypical antipsychotic agents clozapine (10 mg/kg) and olanzapine (2.7 mg/kg) up-regulated BDNF mRNA expression in CA1, CA3, and dentate gyrus regions of the rat hippocampus compared with their respective controls (P < 0.01). These findings demonstrate that the typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs differentially regulate BDNF mRNA expression in rat hippocampus.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was demonstrated that the main reason limiting the production of high levels of ethanol by brewing yeast is actually a nutritional deficiency, and that the yeast viability remains high, and the yeast can be repitched at least five times Supplementation does not increase the fermentative tolerance of the yeast to ethanol but increases the length and level of new yeast cell mass synthesis over that seen in unsupplemented wort.
Abstract: A number of economic and product quality advantages exist in brewing when high-gravity worts of 16 to 18% dissolved solids are fermented Above this level, production problems such as slow or stuck fermentations and poor yeast viability occur Ethanol toxicity has been cited as the main cause, as brewers' yeasts are reported to tolerate only 7 to 9% (vol/vol) ethanol The inhibitory effect of high osmotic pressure has also been implicated In this report, it is demonstrated that the factor limiting the production of high levels of ethanol by brewing yeasts is actually a nutritional deficiency When a nitrogen source, ergosterol, and oleic acid are added to worts up to 31% dissolved solids, it is possible to produce beers up to 162% (vol/vol) ethanol Yeast viability remains high, and the yeasts can be repitched at least five times Supplementation does not increase the fermentative tolerance of the yeasts to ethanol but increases the length and level of new yeast cell mass synthesis over that seen in unsupplemented wort (and therefore the period of more rapid wort attenuation) Glycogen, protein, and sterol levels in yeasts were examined, as was the importance of pitching rate, temperature, and degree of anaerobiosis The ethanol tolerance of brewers' yeast is suggested to be no different than that of sake or distillers' yeast

TL;DR: Use of home blood pressure monitoring to confirm a diagnosis of white coat syndrome and the recent evidence on blood pressure targets for patients with hypertension and diabetes are reviewed and continue to recommend a blood pressure target of less than 130/80 mm Hg.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Phosphorus fractionation indicated that the decline in P fertility was not a result of net export of P in the crop, but arises from the mineralisation of organic P and subsequent transformation of the surplus inorganic P to unavailable forms.
