muscimol and Hypoxia

muscimol has been researched along with Hypoxia in 23 studies

Muscimol: A neurotoxic isoxazole isolated from species of AMANITA. It is obtained by decarboxylation of IBOTENIC ACID. Muscimol is a potent agonist of GABA-A RECEPTORS and is used mainly as an experimental tool in animal and tissue studies.
muscimol : A member of the class of isoxazoles that is 1,2-oxazol-3(2H)-one substituted by an aminomethyl group at position 5. It has been isolated from mushrooms of the genus Amanita.

Hypoxia: Sub-optimal OXYGEN levels in the ambient air of living organisms.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Bilateral inhibition of the RTN neurons with the GABA(A) agonist muscimol (100 pmol in 50 nl) reduced resting ventilation (52 ± 34, versus saline, 250 ± 56 ml min(-1) kg(-1) with absolute values) and attenuated the respiratory response to hypercapnia and hypoxia."3.79Control of breathing and blood pressure by parafacial neurons in conscious rats.

( Balon, N; Drolet, G; Genest, SE; Kinkead, R; Laforest, S, 2007)
"We hypothesized that inhibition of the rostral medullary raphe region (MRR), a putative central chemoreceptor location, with the GABA(A) receptor agonist muscimol would decrease ventilatory responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia in conscious rats, and that its known effect at this site on body temperature might alter its effect upon these ventilatory responses."3.73Ventilatory effects of muscimol microdialysis into the rostral medullary raphé region of conscious rats. ( Li, A; Nattie, EE; Taylor, NC, 2006)
" In urethane-chloralose-anaesthetized rats, bilateral inhibition of the RTN with muscimol eliminated the phrenic nerve discharge (PND) at rest, during hyperoxic hypercapnia (10% CO(2)), and during peripheral chemoreceptor stimulation (hypoxia and/or i."3.73Peripheral chemoreceptor inputs to retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) CO2-sensitive neurons in rats. ( Colombari, E; Guyenet, PG; Moreira, TS; Stornetta, RL; Takakura, AC; West, GH, 2006)
" Baroreflex curves were obtained under conditions of normoxia and hypoxia (10% O(2) + 3% CO(2)) after injections into the A5 region of the GABA receptor agonist muscimol or vehicle solution."3.70Influence of pontine A5 region on renal sympathetic nerve activity in conscious rabbits. ( Head, GA; Maiorov, DN; Malpas, SC, 2000)
"In pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized, paralyzed, and ventilated rats, systemic hypoxia, produced by intratracheal N2 administration for 20 s, rapidly increased activities of reticulospinal vasomotor neurons in the rostroventolateral reticular nucleus (RVL) of the medulla oblongata (by 23."3.69Medullary vasomotor activity and hypoxic sympathoexcitation in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. ( Reis, DJ; Sun, MK, 1996)
"Treatment with gabapentin (50 and 100 mg/kg) significantly increased ambulatory movements, exerted anti-anxiety like effect and reduced oxidative damage in mice subjected to acute hypoxic stress."1.35Gabapentin attenuates acute hypoxic stress-induced behavioral alterations and oxidative damage in mice: possible involvement of GABAergic mechanism. ( Goyal, R; Kumar, A, 2008)
"Strychnine was used to block transmission by glycine."1.31Neurogenesis of gasping does not require inhibitory transmission using GABA(A) or glycine receptors. ( Paton, JF; St-John, WM, 2002)
