How can you use “neurotransmitters” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Consistent with the important role of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord in pain transmission and modulation, neurochemical studies have implicated an enriched expression of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, ion channels, and receptors in these neurons, including substance P, enkephalin, CGRP, somatostatin, and GABA.
Differences in smooth muscle layer thickness, however, do not always satisfactorily explain why in some instances, including stimulation of postganglionic nerve terminals, veins are more responsive than corresponding arteries [ 3 4 5 6 ] . Although differences in the type and amount of neurotransmitters, receptor density and/or sensitivity for neurotransmitter action, or signal transduction mechanisms that couple membrane receptors to the contractile elements have been proposed to underlie the functional distinctions between capacitative and resistive regions of the mesenteric circulation, the possibility that mesenteric artery and vein convey distinct expression levels of contractile proteins has not been ruled out.
This pattern of labeling is suggestive of the terminal fields of afferent neurotransmitters and corroborates previous reports of MIF terminal labeling in the brain [ 7 ] . However, the staining was diffuse and individual nerve fibers (such as is the case with afferent neurotransmitter immunohistochemistry, for example, substance P) were not identified.
In our opinion, this molecule is rather unlikely to play a major role in shedding regulation, given the specificity of Munc-13 effects for phorbols and the generalization of the regulated shedding phenomenon to include activation by protein phosphatase inhibitors and neurotransmitters.
Genes associated with the cell cytoskeleton, positive and negative regulators of apoptosis as well as immune markers tend to be up-regulated, whereas genes involved in membrane excitability (ion channels) or neurotransmission (neurotransmitters and vesicle trafficking genes) tend to be down-regulated.
