## Abstract Glucocorticoids and nerve growth factor (NGF) have been shown to have antagonistic effects on chromaffin cells in vivo. Here we determined the effect of the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, on levels of mRNA for the nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) in rat PC12 pheochromocytom

Treatment of PC12 cells with nerve growth factor (NGF) produces a rapid and transient increase in calcium uptake into the cells. The increased uptake is maximal after 5 minutes of NGF treatment, but after 15 minutes of NGF treatment, no such increase can be observed. The effect of NGF is partially i
Tumor necrosis factor-โฃ (TNFโฃ) may play a role in at least some of the neuronal death that occurs following brain insults or in neurodegenerative diseases. It is therefore important to characterize the mechanism underlying apoptosis induced by TNFโฃ in neuronal cells and to identify factors capable o
