Learned by Reading

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

This causes less activation of the receptor, the neuron stops firing, and a series of brain events occur that result in withdrawal.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

Activation of the H2 receptor results in the following physiological responses :
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

Activation of the receptor is important for the innate immune response in human skin.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

It has been suggested that oxytocin release may contribute to the antiaggressive and anxiolytic properties observed upon activation of the receptor.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

ANP activation of the ANP catalytic receptor will stimulate its intracellular guanylyl cyclase activity to convert GTP to cGMP. cGMP will then stimulate cGMP – dependent protein kinase (PKG) which will then induce smooth muscle relaxation.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

The activation of Trk receptors by neurotrophin binding may lead to activation of signal cascades resulting in promoting survival and other functional regulation of cells.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Activation of this receptor changed vitamin D from a passive to an active form.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

The basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA) receives cholinergic innervation from the basal forebrain and nicotine, via activation of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), can improve performance in amygdala – based learning tasks.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

This activation of receptors by nicotine modifies the state of neurons through two main mechanisms.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Is an edocrine disruptor, and can cause an activation of cellular estrogen receptors (even at low levels) This is implicated in causes of a rise in breast and prostate cancer, infertility issues, a decline in amphibian populations and the reversal / feminization of birds, fish or reptiles.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

This binding inhibits the activation of the receptor and the subsequent signal – transduction pathway, which results in reducing both the invasion of normal tissues by tumor cells and the spread of tumors to new sites.
(Parse)

In the British National Corpus:

One possibility is K +, which will be released from the postsynaptic cell during a tetanus to a degree that will, in part, reflect the level of activation of NMDA receptors.
(Parse)

In the British National Corpus:

This unsaturated fatty acid satisfies several of the requirements for a retrograde messenger: (1) it is released from cultured neurons into the extracellular medium by the activation of NMDA receptors, (2) there is an increase in its efflux and postsynaptic availability following the induction of LTP, (3) inhibitors of phospholipase A 2, an enzyme that liberates arachidonic acid from phospholipids, block the induction of LTP r134-135, and (4) the transient application of arachidonic acid to hippocampal synapses causes a slow-onset potentiation.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

Activation of GABA receptors on these cells, whether they are ionotropic or metabotropic, typically results in the influx of chloride ions into that target cell.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

The data showed absence of activation of PPARgamma receptors.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Screening of peptides encoded by other flps did not result in a significant activation of the receptor.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

The reinforcing properties of muscimol depended on the activation of local GABAA receptors in the MSDB and, secondarily, on a release of DA from the VTA and consecutive activation of D1 and D2 / D3 dopaminergic receptors.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

Activation of the receptor can cause apoptosis.
