  articleSenior author

  Mouse brain tubulin was analyzed on isoelectric focusing gels. High-resolution gels utilizing Bio-Rad ampholytes (pH 4--6) revealed 5--6 bands in the region corresponding to the alpha-subunit of tubulin and 10 or more for the beta-subunit. The same general banding pattern was observed regardless of the method of preparation of the tubulin. Two species prominent in the brains of immature mice, alpha 6 and beta 2, virtually disappeared during maturation, while species beta 6 to beta 10 appeared. N…

• L‐Proline Inhibition of Glutamate Release

  Journal of Neurochemistry · 1981-11-01 · 29 citations

  articleSenior author

  The influence of 1 mM-L-proline on electrically stimulated release of endogenous glutamate from slices of rat frontal cortex was measured. One mM-L-proline approximates the in vitro concentration that inhibits glutamate-induced spreading depression. Also, this L-proline level has been reported to be present in brain after an intraperitoneal injection that induced amnesia in chicks. L-Proline but not D-proline exhibits an inhibitory effect on glutamate release, thus supporting the suggestion that…

• Long-Term Oral Administration of Memory-Enhancing Doses of Tacrine in Mice: A Study of Potential Toxicity and Side Effects

  Journal of Gerontology · 1987-11-01 · 20 citations

  article

  Recently, tacrine (1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-9-aminoacridine; THA; TAC) has received international attention as an oral agent capable of relieving some of the cognitive symptoms accompanying Alzheimer's disease (AD). When given acutely and parenterally (by injection), tacrine has also enhanced memory retention in animals and man. This study evaluates the clinical potential of this agent by assessing toxicity and major side effects of a memory-enhancing dose of tacrine in mice. Groups of mice receive…
