Caracemide was found to inhibit choline acetyltransferase (CAT) from rat brain. A concentration of 0.5 mM caracemide inhibited the enzyme by 93%, whereas a degradation product from caracemide, N-(methylcarbamoyloxy)acetamide, produced only a 50% inhibition. Two other degradation products, N-(methyl-

Using microdissection and quantitative microassay, choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity was mapped in the cochlear nucleus (CN) and in the source nuclei of the olivocochlear bundle, the lateral superior olive and ventral nucleus of the trapezoid body. In control rats, gradients of ChAT activity
In previous studies we have demonstrated that 50 Hz, 100 microT magnetic field (MF) exposure of female Sprague-Dawley rats for 13 weeks significantly enhances the development and growth of mammary tumors in a breast cancer model. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that, at least i
The in vitro effect of methylmercury (MM) on the enzymatic activities of brain cell specific marker enzymes, choline acetyltransferase (CAT), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), 2', 3'-cyclic nucleotide phosphohydrolase (CNP), glutamine synthetase (GS) and enolase was examined. The results demonstrat
## Abstract We studied the effects of single (45 min) and repeated (ten daily 45βmin sessions) microwave exposures (2450βMHz, 1 mW/cm^2^, average wholeβbody SAR of 0.6 W/kg. pulsed at 500 pps with pulse width of 2 ΞΌs) on the concentration and affinity of benzodiazepine receptors in the cerebral cor
