    • Advances in the pharmacology of lGICs auxiliary subunits 
      Galaz, Pablo; Barra, Rafael; Figueroa, Héctor; Mariqueo, Trinidad (Academic Press, 2015)
      Ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are cell surface integral proteins that mediate the fast neurotransmission in the nervous system. LGICs require auxiliary subunits for their trafficking, assembly and pharmacological ...
    • beta(2)-Adrenoceptor stimulation restores frontal cortex plasticity and improves visuospatial performance ... 
      Sáez Briones, Patricio; Soto Moyano, Rubén; Burgos, Héctor; Castillo, Amparo; Valladares Boasi, Luis; Morgan Sabat, Carlos; Pérez, Hernán; Barra, Rafael; Constandil, Luis; Laurido, Claudio; Hernández, Alejandro (Elsevier, 2015)
      Moderate reduction in dietary protein composition of pregnant rats from 25% to 8% casein, calorically compensated by carbohydrates, has been described as a ‘‘hidden malnutrition’’ because it does not alter body and brain ...
    • Hypertension in prenatally undernourished young-adult rats is maintained by tonic reciprocal paraventricu ... 
      Cayupe, Bernardita; Morgan, Carlos; Puentes, Gustavo; Valladares Boasi, Luis Emilio; Burgos, Héctor; Castillo, Amparo; Hernández, Alejandro; Constandil, Luis; Ríos, Miguel; Sáez Briones, Patricio; Barra, Rafael (MDPI, 2021)
      Prenatally malnourished rats develop hypertension in adulthood, in part through increased alpha(1)-adrenoceptor-mediated outflow from the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) to the sympathetic system. We studied whether both ...
    • Maternal sympathetic stress impairs follicular development and puberty of the offspring 
      Barra, Rafael; Cruz Neculpán, Gonzalo Andrés; Mayerhofer, Artur; Paredes Vargas, Alfonso; Lara Peñaloza, Hernán (Society for Reproduction and Fertility, 2014)
      Chronic cold stress applied to adult rats activates ovarian sympathetic innervation and develops polycystic ovary (PCO) phenotype. The PCO syndrome in humans originates during early development and is expressed before or ...
