Acute in vivo exposure to fentanyl reduces GABA immunoreactivity in the CA1 area of the rat hippocampus
Kouvaras, E.; Kilindris, T.; Vasilaki, A.; Asprodini, E. K. (2008)The effect of in vivo fentanyl treatment on GABAergic immunoreactivity was studied in the CA1 area of the rat hippocampus. Animals were treated either with saline or fentanyl (4x80 μg/kg, s.c./15min). GABA immunohistochemistry ... -
Antidepressants influence somatostatin levels and receptor pharmacology in brain
Pallis, E.; Vasilaki, A.; Fehlmann, D.; Kastellakis, A.; Hoyer, D.; Spyraki, C.; Thermos, K. (2009)This study investigated how the administration (acute and chronic) of the antidepressants citalopram and desmethylimipramine (DMI) influences somatostatin (somatotropin release inhibitory factor, SRIF) levels and SRIF ... -
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF SOMATOSTATIN ANALOGUES AGAINST KAINIC ACID-INDUCED SEIZURES IN THE RAT
Kokkinou, E.; Vasilaki, A.; Asprodini, E. (2010) -
Effect of anoxia and hypoglycaemia on the expression of neuronal cell markers in the rat retina and hippocampus: Development of a rat ex vivo ischemia model
Vasilaki, A. (2007)Neuronal ischemia leads to neuronal cells death due to glucose and oxygen deprivation. The goal of this study was the development of a rat ex vivo ischemia model for the deferential identification of anoxic and hypoglycaemic ... -
Effect of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15) on steroidogenesis in primary-cultured human luteinized granulosa cells
Prapa, E.; Vasilaki, A.; Katsiani, E.; Gewrgoulias, P.; Messini, C.; Anifandis, G.; Dafopoulos, K.; Messinis, I. E. (2014) -
Effect of Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15) on steroidogenesis in primary-cultured human luteinizing granulosa cells through Smad5 signalling
Prapa, E.; Vasilaki, A.; Dafopoulos, K.; Katsiani, E.; Georgoulias, P.; Messini, C. I.; Anifandis, G.; Messinis, I. E. (2015)To determine if there is any effect of AMH and BMP-15 on estradiol and progesterone production from primary-cultured human luteinizing granulosa cells, to delineate what is the effect of FSH on their actions and which are ... -
Effect of somatostatinergic analogues on the ischemia-induced release of [3H]-D-aspartate and [3H]-GABA from rat retina and hippocampus
Sourlas, V.; Athanasiou, V.; Vasilaki, A. (2008)The modulation of the enhanced release of [3H]-D-Aspartate and [3H]GABA following ischemia-like conditions was studied in rat retinal and hippocampal preparations using a superfusion system. Ischemia was simulated by a ... -
Effects of metformin on fertilisation of bovine oocytes and early embryo development: possible involvement of AMPK3-mediated TSC2 activation
Pikiou, O.; Vasilaki, A.; Leondaritis, G.; Vamvakopoulos, N.; Messinis, I. E. (2015)Studies on bovine oocytes have revealed that the activation of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) by millimolar concentrations of metformin controls nuclear maturation. Tuberous sclerosis complex 2 ... -
Fentanyl treatment reduces GABAergic inhibition in the CA1 area of the hippocampus 24 h after acute exposure to the drug
Kouvaras, E.; Asprodini, E. K.; Asouchidou, I.; Vasilaki, A.; Kilindris, T.; Michaloudis, D.; Koukoutianou, I.; Papatheodoropoulos, C.; Kostopoulos, G. (2008)The effect of in vivo fentanyl treatment on synaptic transmission was studied in the CA1 area of the rat hippocampus. Animals were treated either with saline or fentanyl (4 x 80 mu g/kg, s.c./15 min). Intracellular in vitro ... -
Long-term exposure to muscarinic agonists decreases expression of contractile proteins and responsiveness of rabbit tracheal smooth muscle cells
Stamatiou, R.; Paraskeva, E.; Vasilaki, A.; Mylonis, I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Hatziefthimiou, A. (2014)Background: Chronic airway diseases, like asthma or COPD, are characterized by excessive acetylcholine release and airway remodeling. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effect of muscarinic agonists on ... -
PKC-epsilon activation is required for recognition memory in the rat
Zisopoulou, S.; Asimaki, O.; Leondaritis, G.; Vasilaki, A.; Sakellaridis, N.; Pitsikas, N.; Mangoura, D. (2013)Activation of PKC epsilon, an abundant and developmentally regulated PKC isoform in the brain, has been implicated in memory throughout life and across species. Yet, direct evidence for a mechanistic role for PKC epsilon ... -
REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE MODULATORY ROLE OF THE EPITHELIUM IN SHEEP AIRWAY
Hatziefthimiou, A.; Kiritsi, M.; Kiropoulou, C.; Vasilaki, A.; Sakellaridis, N.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2009)P>The airway epithelium may modulate smooth muscle responsiveness via the release of biologically active substances, such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins. Based on regional differences in structure and function ... -
Somatostatin analogues as therapeutics in retinal disease
Vasilaki, A.; Thermos, K. (2009)Despite the rapid development of new pharmacological and surgical modalities, the treatment of retinal disease all too often results in poor final visual acuity. The primary pathologic mechanism underlying suboptimal visual ...
