proctolin

06/01/1996 - "In the hindleg extensor tibiae muscle of the locust, Schistocerca gregaria, the proctolin analogue [Afb (p-NO2)2]-proctolin is also able to potentiate neurally evoked contractions but is approximately 1,000-fold less effective in evoking contractures. "
02/01/2006 - "We thus conclude that proctolin in the studied crustacean muscle fibres induces an activation of PKC, which leads to a reduction of the cGMP concentration and, consequently, to the potentiation of muscle contracture."
02/01/2006 - "8-Bromo-cGMP, a membrane-permeable cGMP analogue, reduced the potentiating effect of proctolin on muscle contracture. "
02/01/2006 - "As in many other arthropods, the neuropeptide proctolin enhances contractures of muscles in the crustacean isopod Idotea emarginata. "
08/01/2001 - "Proctolin (1 micromoll(-1)) potentiates the amplitude of contractures of single extensor muscle fibres elicited by 10 mmoll(-1) caffeine. "

01/01/2009 - "Surprisingly, we did not detect immunoreactivity to either FGLa AST or proctolin within the reproductive system; however, proctolin immunoreactivity was evident in nerves extending from the terminal ganglion of 8-day, but not 0-day, males. "
11/01/2002 - "Proctolin (10(-6)M), bath applied to abdominal ganglion VIII, altered the rhythmic bursting of action potentials recorded from the oviducal nerve and changed the appearance and cycle duration of neurogenic oviduct contractions."
11/29/1999 - "Proctolin-like immunoreactivity was present in numerous cell bodies and neuropil of the paired commissural ganglia and in the neuropil of the stomatogastric ganglion. "
07/22/1994 - "By using a new, affinity-purified proctolin antiserum, we labeled axons in the connective tissue between the last thoracic and first abdominal ganglion and compared the positions of labeled axons with the previously described positions of the excitatory axons. "
03/01/1993 - "3. To demonstrate an artificial voltage-dependent conductance, we simulate the action of a voltage-dependent proctolin response on a neuron in the intact stomatogastric ganglion. "

07/01/2000 - "Several of these have been identified in different decapod species, including the paired modulatory proctolin neuron (MPN) in the crab Cancer borealis [Nusbaum & Marder (1989) J. "
01/22/1986 - "Bath application of proctolin to STGs from Cancer and Panulirus induced characteristic and robust (though somewhat different) changes in their motor patterns. "
10/01/1994 - "To study this issue in the crab Cancer borealis, we incubated exogenous proctolin (10(-5) M) with either the thoracic ganglion (TG) or with conditioned saline (CS) that had been preincubated with the TG. "
05/01/1989 - "The effects of stimulating the modulatory proctolin-containing neurons (MPNs) on the pyloric rhythm of the stomatogastric ganglion of the crab, Cancer borealis, were compared with those produced by exogenously applied proctolin. "
12/01/2012 - "The neuropeptide proctolin modulates the inhibitory synapse from the lateral pyloric (LP) to the pyloric dilator (PD) neuron, two slow-wave bursting neurons in the pyloric network of the crab Cancer borealis. "

08/01/2020 - "Microscopic colitis (MC) is potentially induced by an inflammatory reaction to a luminal gut factor. "

09/01/1987 - "The durations of the bursts of impulses in power-stroke motor neurons generated in the presence of proctolin are, however, significantly longer than those that occur during spontaneous activity. "
