Neonatal pituitary cells express MT1 and MT2 subtype of melatonin receptors that are coupled
to pertussis toxinsensitive G proteins. Their activation by melatonin leads to a decrease in …

The majority of fast synaptic inhibition in the brain is mediated by benzodiazepine-sensitive
α1-subunit-containing GABA type A receptors (GABA A Rs); however, our knowledge of the …

Cyclin E is a component of the core cell cycle machinery, and it drives cell proliferation by
regulating entry and progression of cells through the DNA synthesis phase. Cyclin E …

… To test this prediction, we incubated hippocampal neurons with Bay K 8644 (5 … K 8644 (Figure
1C). We applied etomidate to hippocampal neurons in culture to study the effects of Bay K …

Pituitary cells fire action potentials independently of external stimuli, and such spontaneous
electrical activity is modulated by a large variety of hypothalamic and intrapituitary agonists. …

Intravenous anesthetics exert a component of their actions via potentiating inhibitory
neurotransmission mediated by γ-aminobutyric type-A receptors (GABA A Rs). Phasic and tonic …

Anterior pituitary cells release ATP and express several subtypes of purinergic P2 receptors,
but their biophysical properties and roles in spontaneous and receptor-controlled electrical …

Several receptors linked to the adenylyl cyclase signaling pathway stimulate electrical
activity and calcium influx in endocrine pituitary cells, and a role for an unidentified sodium-…

Pituitary lactotrophs in vitro fire extracellular Ca 2+ -dependent action potentials spontaneously
through still unidentified pacemaking channels, and the associated voltage-gated Ca 2+ …

… large part, by a reduction in a background K + conductance, mediated by a member of the
K ir channel family (36,131). The inhibition of K ir , including its associated depolarisation and …
