The transient suppression of muscle contraction during the cutaneous silent period (CSP) could be produced either through postsynaptic inhibition of motoneurons or through presynaptic inhibition of the excitatory inputs to motoneurons that sustain voluntary contraction. We sought to delineate the me
The neuropeptide galanin (GAL) was injected intrathecally (i.t.) in decerebrate, spinalized, unanesthetized rats and its effect on the nocifensive flexor reflex was examined. The reflex, which was evoked by intense mechanical or thermal stimulation of the foot, was recorded from the ipsilateral hams
Caffeine is metabolized extensively (on average 80%) to paraxanthine. With regular caffeine consumption, average serum levels of paraxanthine are two thirds those of caffeine. Both caffeine and paraxan-From the Clinical Pharmacology
