ROLE OF GLIAL CELLS IN THE BRAIN

EcR-B1 expression was similarly detected in PTPCs(Fig. 2F), TCCs, and OLCs (Fig. 3E) but at a lowerlevel than EcR-A. In addition to the brain, faintEcR-A expression was detected in the subesophagalganglion (Fig. 2K). Both EcR isoforms are thereforeABCFig. 1.[r]

MT-I + II may prevent tumor cell death by protectingagainst pro-apoptotic treatment regimes [11,33]. How-ever, when the cancer is located in ectodermal tissues(such as colon, bladder and skin), a positive correla-tion exists between increased MT-I + II levels and animproved prognosis [[r]

Serotonin, also called 5hydroxytryptamine, a chemical substance that is derived from the amino acid tryptophan. It occurs in the brain, intestinal tissue, blood platelets, and mast cells and is a constituent of many venoms, including wasp venom and toad venom. Serotonin is a potent vasoconstrictor a[r]
