Production of cyclic nucleotides from normal human brain. 1983

E Naito, and K Shimoji, and H Endoh, and T Ichikawa, and M Hashiba

Concentrations of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in arterial and internal jugular venous (IJV) blood were determined at the resting wakeful state in thirty surgical patients without neurological deficits. The levels of cyclic AMP in artery and IJV were 32.1 +/- 3.0 and 40.0 +/- 4.1 pmol/ml (means +/- standard errors), respectively, while those of cyclic GMP in artery and IJV were 12.2 +/- 2.7 and 14.4 +/- 3.0 pmol/ml, respectively. Concentrations of both cyclic nucleotides in IJV were significantly higher (P less than 0.001) than those in artery. IJV-arterial differences for cAMP and cGMP were 7.9 +/- 1.7 and 2.1 +/- 0.5 pmol/ml, respectively. The results indicate that both cyclic nucleotides are constantly produced and released from the normal human brain.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D006152 Cyclic GMP Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
