Intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured with Fura-2 in freshly dissociated brain cells isolated from newborn (1-2 day) mouse pups using AR-CM-MIC cation measurement system, and the effects of DGAVP and Org2766 on the changes in [Ca2+]i induced by the protein synthesis inhibitor anisomycin (ANI) were studied. The results indicate that anisomycin caused dose-dependent increases in [Ca2+]i; and DGAVP itself showed no significant effect on [Ca2+]i, but an appropriate dose of DGAVP antagonized the increases induced by the selective dose-range of ANI, suggesting that the antagonism of ANI-induced inhibition of protein synthesis by DGAVP was likely achieved by preventing ANI from increasing [Ca2+]i, but this mechanism did not apply to the other neuropeptide Org2766. Therefore, we suppose that the mechanism of the two neuropeptides are different in terms of their effect on intracellular free calcium concentration.

D010446 Peptide Fragments Partial proteins formed by partial hydrolysis of complete proteins or generated through PROTEIN ENGINEERING techniques. Peptide Fragment,Fragment, Peptide,Fragments, Peptide
D011500 Protein Synthesis Inhibitors Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the A site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins.

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
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).
