    EXPRESSION OF MULTIPLE POPULATIONS OF NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS IN BOVINE ADRENAL CHROMAFFIN CELLS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bryan W. Wenger, B.A. The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Professor Dennis B. McKay, Advisor Professor R. Thomas Boyd ________________________ Advisor Professor Popat N. Patil College of Pharmacy Professor Lane Wallace, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The importance of the role of nAChRs in physiological and pathological states is becoming increasingly clear. It is apparent that there are multitudes of nAChR subtypes with different expression patterns, pharmacologies and functions that may be important in various disease states. Therefore, a greater understanding of nAChR subtypes is essential for potential pharmacological intervention in nAChR systems. Bovine adrenal chromaffin cells are a primary culture of a neuronal type cell that express ganglionic types of nAChRs whose activation can be related to a functional response. While much is known about the outcome of functional activation of adrenal nAChRs, little work has been done in characterizing populations of nAChRs in adrenal chromaffin cells. These studies characterize the pharmacology and regulation of populations of nAChRs found in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. The primary findings of this research include 1) the characterization of an irreversible antagonist of adrenal nAChRs, 2) the discovery of

This is true for any specialty that routinely involves the care of young and old patients, surgical and non-surgical problems, local eye disease (topical or subconjunctival drug administration), and systemic disease which must be treated in order to "cure" the "local" manifestations which frequently present in the eyes (uveitis, optic neurhis, etc.). Few authors (see bibliography) have attempted an introduction to drug therapy oriented specifically for the ophthalmologist. The new resident in ophthalmology often has a vague concept of the importance of this subject, and with that in mind this paper was prepared.

PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEW OF CHEMICALS USED FOR THE CAPTURE OF ANIMALS* PETEIR J. SAVARIE, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Building 16, Federal Center, Denver, Colorado 80225 ABSTRACT: A review of the literature reveals that over 60 chemicals have been used for the capture of wi l d animals, but only 30 of the most widely used chemicals are discussed in the present paper. For practical considerations these chemicals can be c l a ssified as being either (l) neuromuscular blocking agents, or (2) central nervous system (CNS) depressants. Some common neuromuscular blocking agents are d-tubocurarine, gallamine, succiny1choline, and nicotine. M99 and its derivatives, phencyclidine, and xylazine are some of the more commonly used CNS depressants. Neuromuscular blocking agents have a relatively rapid onset and short duration of action but they do not possess sedative, analgesic, or anesthetic properties.

    Consistent with the terms of the Court’s May 22, 2017 scheduling order, the record has been redacted for all information that plaintiff, Texas Department of Criminal Justice (Texas), has identified as confidential. In addition, Defendants have also redacted information that the drug’s supplier and broker have separately advised the agency they consider confidential and private, as well as information the agency itself generally treats as confidential. This information has been redacted pending final FDA’s review of confidentiality claims, and our filing of the record with these redactions does not necessarily reflect our agreement with all of the claims of confidentiality Defendants have received. Defendants explicitly reserve the right to make an independent determination regarding the proper scope of redactions at a later time. Should we identify any of Texas’s redactions that are over-broad or otherwise improper, we will work with Texas’s counsel to revise the redactions in the record.
