The present study characterizes opioid receptors in an immortalized myocyte cell line, HL-1. Displacement of [3H]bremazocine by selective ligands for the mu (), delta (), and kappa () receptors revealed that only the -selective ligands could fully displace specific [3H]bremazocine binding, indicating the presence of only the -receptor in these cells. Saturation binding studies with the -antagonist naltrindole 3 afforded a Bmax of 32 fmols/mg protein and a KD value for [ H]naltrindole of 0.46 n. The binding affinities of various ligands for the receptor in HL-1 cell membranes obtained from competition binding assays were similar to those obtained using membranes from a neuroblastoma×glioma cell line, NG108-15. -
Human Physiology/The Male Reproductive System 1 Human Physiology/The Male Reproductive System
Human Physiology/The male reproductive system 1 Human Physiology/The male reproductive system ← The endocrine system — Human Physiology — The female reproductive system → Homeostasis — Cells — Integumentary — Nervous — Senses — Muscular — Blood — Cardiovascular — Immune — Urinary — Respiratory — Gastrointestinal — Nutrition — Endocrine — Reproduction (male) — Reproduction (female) — Pregnancy — Genetics — Development — Answers Introduction In simple terms, reproduction is the process by which organisms create descendants. This miracle is a characteristic that all living things have in common and sets them apart from nonliving things. But even though the reproductive system is essential to keeping a species alive, it is not essential to keeping an individual alive. In human reproduction, two kinds of sex cells or gametes are involved. Sperm, the male gamete, and an egg or ovum, the female gamete must meet in the female reproductive system to create a new individual. For reproduction to occur, both the female and male reproductive systems are essential. While both the female and male reproductive systems are involved with producing, nourishing and transporting either the egg or sperm, they are different in shape and structure. The male has reproductive organs, or genitals, that are both inside and outside the pelvis, while the female has reproductive organs entirely within the pelvis. The male reproductive system consists of the testes and a series of ducts and glands. Sperm are produced in the testes and are transported through the reproductive ducts. These ducts include the epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct and urethra. The reproductive glands produce secretions that become part of semen, the fluid that is ejaculated from the urethra. These glands include the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands. -
Intravta Deltorphin, but Not DPDPE, Induces Place Preference in Ethanoldrinking Rats
ALCOHOLISM:CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH Vol. 38, No. 1 January 2014 Intra-VTA Deltorphin, But Not DPDPE, Induces Place Preference in Ethanol-Drinking Rats: Distinct DOR-1 and DOR-2 Mechanisms Control Ethanol Consumption and Reward Jennifer M. Mitchell, Elyssa B. Margolis, Allison R. Coker, Daicia C. Allen, and Howard L. Fields Background: While there is a growing body of evidence that the delta opioid receptor (DOR) modu- lates ethanol (EtOH) consumption, development of DOR-based medications is limited in part because there are 2 pharmacologically distinct DOR subtypes (DOR-1 and DOR-2) that can have opposing actions on behavior. Methods: We studied the behavioral influence of the DOR-1-selective agonist [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]- Enkephalin (DPDPE) and the DOR-2-selective agonist deltorphin microinjected into the ventral tegmental area (VTA) on EtOH consumption and conditioned place preference (CPP) and the physio- logical effects of these 2 DOR agonists on GABAergic synaptic transmission in VTA-containing brain slices from Lewis rats. Results: Neither deltorphin nor DPDPE induced a significant place preference in EtOH-na€ıve Lewis rats. However, deltorphin (but not DPDPE) induced a significant CPP in EtOH-drinking rats. In con- trast to the previous finding that intra-VTA DOR-1 activity inhibits EtOH consumption and that this inhibition correlates with a DPDPE-induced inhibition of GABA release, here we found no effect of DOR-2 activity on EtOH consumption nor was there a correlation between level of drinking and deltorphin-induced change in GABAergic synaptic transmission. Conclusions: These data indicate that the therapeutic potential of DOR agonists for alcohol abuse is through a selective action at the DOR-1 form of the receptor. -

For word of the good news to reach the people, the civil magistrate invited citizens from each community under his jurisdiction to hear him preach: Joseph, Gautama, Sarah, Aisha, Hillary, and Isa, each of whom was pursuing his or her own conceptions of the good life by choosing associations fit for them. -
Adolescents' Thoughts About Abstinence and Sex, and Their
The Opposite of Sex? Adolescents’ Thoughts About Abstinence and Sex, and Their Sexual Behavior CONTEXT: Little research has explored how teenagers think about abstinence and how it functions in their lives. These By N. Tatiana questions are particularly salient in light of widespread funding of abstinence-only programs in the United States. Masters, Blair A. Beadnell, Diane M. METHODS: Data on attitudes and intentions related to abstinence and sex were collected from 365 adolescents aged Morrison, Marilyn 12–15 who participated in an HIV risk reduction program in Seattle in 2001–2003. Logistic regression analyses assessed J. Hoppe and Mary associations between these cognitions, as measured six months after the program, and teenagers’ likelihood of having Rogers Gillmore vaginal or anal sex in the subsequent six months. N. Tatiana Masters is RESULTS: Adolescents who had positive attitudes and intentions about abstinence had a reduced likelihood of adoctoralcandidate, subsequently engaging in sex (odds ratio, 0.6 for each), whereas those with positive attitudes and intentions about Blair A. Beadnell and havingsexhadanelevatedlikelihoodofengaginginsex(2.2and3.5,respectively).Aregressionmodelincludingonlysex Marilyn J.

Significant interaction effects were also seen: Among teenagers with low levels of sex Diane M.
