    Notes: Summary Several previous studies have suggested a strong GABA-mimetic action of the endogenous brain imino acid, L-pipecolic acid (L-PA). In the present study, these observations were evaluated using electrophysiological and neurochemical methods. In contrast to published data our electrophysiological studies on rat cortical neuronesin situ showed only a weak, but bicuculline-sensitive depressant action of L-PA on cortical neurones. Furthermore, L-PA proved to have no affinity for any of the three components of the GABA-benzodiazepine-chloride channel receptor complex. However, using a modification of published methods a weak affinity for the GABA-B receptor site was demonstrated (IC50=1.8×10−3 M). L-PA showed no anticonvulsive activity in several tests; in particular, it did not protect mice from seizures induced by inhibition of L-glutamate-1-decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.15: GAD). L-PA had a very weak action on brain GABA levels of mice, and did not modify the rate of GABA synthesis. In conclusion, these results are not compatible with a strongin vivo interaction between L-PA and GABA-mediated inhibitory transmission.

    Notes: Summary This report demonstrates that the administration of testosterone (T) or 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) to sexually immature (8 wks old) male platyfish (Xiphophorus maculatus) of early-and late-maturing genotypes affects the synthesis and/or release of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), as assessed by immunocytochemical evaluation, increases the number and activity of pituitary gonadotropes, stimulates the production of sperm and, thus, advances the age of sexual maturation over that dictated by the genome. We also show that 11-KT and T affect different LHRH-containing centers in the brain and have differential effects on rate and degree of sexual maturation, regardless of whether the hormones are administered to early or late-maturing genotypes.

    Notes: Abstract Tobacco and radish leaves sorbed 1,2-dibromoethane (EDB) in the vapor phase or took up EDB dissolved in water. Sorption of EDB vapor by the leaf blades was controlled primarily by diffusion resistance of the leaf stomata, but was also influenced by the nature of the leaf surface. EDB taken up from solution through the petiole was transported to the leaf blade, from where it exhibited a high escaping tendency relative to the transpiration of water. These processes may affect transport and persistence of soil fumigants.
