Background and Purpose— Synaptic transmission is highly vulnerable to metabolic
perturbations. However, the long-term consequences of transient metabolic perturbations on …

Background Statins are the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
Their most frequent side effect is myotoxicity. To date, it remains unclear whether …

The neurotoxic effects of the root canal filling materials—Endomethasone, N2 Universal,
Traitement SPAD, Sealapex, and Calciobiotic Root Canal Sealer (CRCS)—were investigated …

Statins are commonly used drugs in the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia. There are
many adverse effects of statins on skeletal muscle, but the underlying mechanisms remain …

Background and Purpose During cerebral ischemia, both promoting and limiting factors are
present for activation of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor ion channel and the …

The beneficial effects of glucocorticoids in myasthenia gravis are attributed to their
immunosuppressive actions. There are also studies reporting direct facilitatory as well as depressant …

Fimbrial/commissural stimulation evokes a prolonged negative field potential in stratum
radiatum of CA1 region of the rat hippocampus, in situ, upon activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate (…

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with exercise intolerance that cannot be entirely
explained by hypoperfusion of the skeletal muscles. We studied the contractile properties …

Background/Purpose: The cremaster muscle (CM) has been considered to participate in
regulation of blood flow and temperature of the testis. Its contribution to testicular descent has …

Background/Purpose: Evidence suggests differences in contractility in cremaster muscles (CM)
associated with undescended testis caused by alterations of autonomic innervation. …
