Effects of strength and endurance training on muscle fibrecharacteristics in elderly women
1997
The effects of 18 weeks' intensive strength and endurance training on fibre characteristics of the vastus lateralis muscle were studied in 76- to 78-year-old women. Type I and type IIa fibres constituted over 90% of the cell population and were almost equally represented. No changes were observed in the proportions of the different fibre types. When comparing the baseline and the 18-week measurements within the groups, the strength group showed a mean increase of 34% (P = 0.028) in mean type I fibre area. The frequency histograms showed an increased proportion of larger type I fibres after strength training and a decreased proportion of smaller type IIa fibres after endurance training. In t…
Involvement of cholinergic nicotinic receptors in the menthol-induced gastric relaxation.
2014
We have previously demonstrated that menthol reduces murine gastric tone in part through a neural mechanism, involving adrenergic pathways and reduction of ongoing release of acetylcholine from enteric nerves. In the present study we aimed to verify whether the gastric relaxation to menthol may be triggered by interaction with neural receptors or ionic channels proteins, such as transient receptor potential (TRP)-melastatin8 (TRPM8), TRP-ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), 5-hydroxytriptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptor or cholinergic nicotinic receptors. Spontaneous mechanical activity was detected in vitro as changes in intraluminal pressure from isolated mouse stomach. Menthol (0.3-30 mM) induced gastric relaxati…
Research on Acute Toxicity and the Behavioral Effects of Methanolic Extract from Psilocybin Mushrooms and Psilocin in Mice
2015
The pharmacological activities and acute toxicity of the psilocin (PC) and dried residues of the crude extracts of psychotropic mushrooms were investigated in mice. The hallucinogenic substances were effectively isolated, by using methanol, from the species of Psilocybe semilanceata and Pholiotina cyanopus, that were collected in the north-east region of Poland. The chemical analysis of these extracts, which was performed by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (LC-MS), indicated the presence of psilocin and other hallucinogenic substances, including indolealkylamines and their phosphorylated analogues. When the pure psilocin or fungal extracts were used, slight difference…
ATP and endogenous agonists inhibit evoked [3H]-noradrenaline release in rat iris via A1 and P2y-like purinoceptors.
1993
Effects of ATP, adenosine and purinoceptor antagonists on field stimulation-evoked (3 Hz, 2 min) [3H]-noradrenaline overflow were investigated in the rat isolated iris. ATP and adenosine inhibited the evoked overflow of [3H]-noradrenaline. 1,3-Dipropyl-8-cyclopentylxanthine (DPCPX) shifted the concentration-response curve of ATP to the right in a concentration-dependent manner, but with a potency (-log KB = 7.88) much lower than expected for an A1 adenosine receptor. In the continuous presence of DPCPX, the ATP-induced prejunctional inhibition was unaffected by suramin (100 mumol/l) and DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, 50 mumol/l) but was antagonized by the P2Y-rece…

Novadpētniecības krājuma digitalizācija Latvijas bibliotēkās
2020
Novadpētniecība dod iespēju uzzināt vairāk par sev tuvajiem un vietu, no kurienes esam nākuši. Arvien biežāk sabiedrībā tiek norādīts uz digitālās vides vērtību un nozīmīgumu, līdz ar to bibliotēkām būtu jāpielāgojas, lai lietotājiem varētu piedāvāt vajadzīgo. Ir jāuzlabo bibliotēku novadpētniecības krājuma pieejamība attālināti. Pētījumā veiktās intervijas un kontentanalīze palīdz uzzinātu par veikto novadpētniecības krājuma digitalizācijas darbu bibliotēkās un kā varētu uzlabot digitalizācijas darbu. Pētījuma mērķis ir apskatīt un novērtēt digitalizācijas darbu bibliotēkās un izveidot bibliotēku novadpētniecības krājuma digitalizācijas modeli.
Flow cytometric analysis of concanavalin A binding to isolated Golgi fractions from rat liver.
1993
Flow cytometry (FCM) has been used repeatedly to study lectin binding to whole cells. However, there are very few attempts to analyze glycoconjugates in isolated subcellular organelles. We have applied FCM to quantitate the specific binding of fluorescein-conjugated concanavalin A (FITC-Con A) to isolated cis and trans fractions of rat liver Golgi complex, the cell compartment involved in glycoprotein maturation and sorting. Our results show similar intensities of Con A-specific binding in the two fractions. Using this method we show a decreased FITC-Con A binding to both Golgi fractions in ethanol-treated rats, which is consistent to previous work on alcoholic effects on galactosyltransfer…
