Changing O₂ availability dictates sensitivity to ZnCl₂. by Isamu Aiba (488976)

“…Baseline recordings were in 95% O₂, before exchange with either 21% or 0% O₂ (replaced with N₂, see Methods). * p<0.05, n=5 each. <b>D</b>. Suppression of synaptic transmission with the A1 receptor agonist CPA (300 nM, in 95% O₂) decreased SD propagation rate, but did not prevent inhibition by ZnCl₂ (n=5, **p<0.01) Experiments were performed on slices obtained from male FVB/N mice.…”

Glutathione depletion triggers actin cytoskeleton changes via actin-binding proteins by Nahum Zepeta-Flores (5342177)

“…These changes were sufficient to trigger the co-localization of the three proteins towards cytoplasmic projections. Our data confirm that a decrease in GSH in the absence of oxidative stress can transiently inhibit the actin binding proteins and that this stimulus is sufficient to induce changes in cellular morphology via the actin cytoskeleton.…”
