Near-infrared and optical broadband surface photometry of 86 face-on disk dominated galaxies. IV. Using color profiles to study stellar and dust content of galaxies

RS de Jong�- arXiv preprint astro-ph/9604010, 1996 - arxiv.org
The stellar and dust content of spiral galaxies as function of radius has been investigated
using near-infrared and optical broadband surface photometry of 86 face-on spiral galaxies.
Colors of galaxies correlate with the azimuthally averaged local surface brightness both
within and among galaxies, with the lower surface brightness regions being bluer. The
colors formed from different passband combinations correlate strongly indicating that they
probably arise from the same physical process. A 3D radiative transfer model was�…

Cloning and production of antisera to human placental 11 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2

RW BROWN, KE CHAPMAN…�- Biochemical�…, 1996 - portlandpress.com
By inactivating potent glucocorticoid hormones (cortisol and corticosterone), 11β-
hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2) plays an important role in the placenta by
controlling fetal exposure to maternal glucocorticoids, and in aldosterone target tissues by
controlling ligand access to co-localized glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors.
Amino acid sequence from homogeneous human placental 11β-HSD2 was used to isolate a
1897 bp cDNA encoding this enzyme (predicted M r 44126; predicted pI 9.9). Transfection�…

The effects of antipsychotic drugs on Fos protein expression in the prefrontal cortex: cellular localization and pharmacological characterization

AY Deutch, RS Duman�- Neuroscience, 1996 - Elsevier
The assessment of immediate-early gene induction has proven to be a useful method for
delineating the neural systems that subserve antipsychotic drug actions. In order to
differentiate the sites and mechanisms of action of typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs,
we examined the effects of antipsychotic drugs on Fos protein expression in the medial
prefrontal cortex. The atypical antipsychotic drug clozapine selectively increased the number
of neurons that expressed Fos-like immunoreactivity in the prefrontal cortex, targeting the�…
