    Notes: Abstract Pharmacological evidence has suggested the presence of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin), 5-HT1D receptors on endothelial cells but these receptors have never been identified unamiguously on this type of cells. We now report that human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) express 5-HT1D receptors coupled to inhibitiion of cyclic AMP formatin. 5-HT and the 5-HT1D receptor agaonists 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) and sumatriptan were approximately equipotent at inhibiting forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in HUVEC (mean pEC50 7.6–8.2, maximal effect 30% inhibition). The 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-OH-DPAT was clearly less potent (pEC50 6.2) and less efficacious. The selective 5-HT1D receptor antagonist, GR127935 (1 nM) markedly inhibited the effct pf 5-HT (apparent pKB 10.8). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed the mRNA for 5-HT1Dβ receptors to be expressed in HUVEC. These results demonstrate the presence of functional 5-HT1D receptors and the expression of 5-HT1Dβreceptor mRNA in HUVEC. They support he involvement of 5-HT1Dβ receptors in endothelial-mediated responses to 5-HT.

    Notes: Abstract  A rapid and economical method was developed for the simultaneous determination of androgens, progestogens, and glucocorticoids and their precursors and metabolites in meat. Steroids were isolated with liquid extraction followed by C18-solid-phase extraction (C18-SPE). Corticoids were separated from the less polar steroids by Si-SPE. The non-polar steroids required additional purification by filtration through an NH2 cartridge. The fractions were combined and derivatized with a universally applicable trimethylsilylation of both hydroxyl and keto groups. Determination was performed with gas chromatography-mass selective detection (determination limits: 0.02–0.1 μg/kg). Hormone profiles of 15 muscle tissue samples of both bulls and steers were analysed. Beef from bulls contained higher concentrations of testosterone and epitestosterone (P〈0.001), 11-deoxycorticosterone (P〈0.01), androstenedione (P〈0.05) and cortisone (P〈0.05), and significantly lower proportions of cortisol (P〈0.001) than beef from steers.
