Role of oxidative stress in paraquat‐induced dopaminergic cell degenerationJournal of Neurochemistry - Tập 93 Số 4 - Trang 1030-1037 - 2005

AbstractSystemic treatment of mice with the herbicide paraquat causes the
selective loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, reproducing the primary
neurodegenerative feature of Parkinson's disease. To elucidate the role of
oxidative damage in paraquat neurotoxicity, the time‐course of neurodegeneration
was correlated to changes in 4‐hydroxy‐2‐nonenal (4‐HNE), a lipid peroxidation
marker. When ... hiện toàn bộ
Functional Characterization of the Murine Serotonin Transporter Gene Promoter in Serotonergic Raphe NeuronsJournal of Neurochemistry - Tập 70 Số 3 - Trang 932-939 - 1998
Armin Heils, Christine H. Wichems, Claudia Sommer, Susanne Petri, Katharina Glatz, Dietmar Bengel, Dennis L. Murphy, Klaus‐Peter Lesch
Abstract: We have isolated and characterized the 5′‐flanking regulatory region
of the murine serotonin 5‐HT transporter (5‐HTT) gene. A TATA‐like motif and
several potential binding sites for transcription factors, including two AP1,
several AP2 and AP4 binding sites, CCAAT and GC boxes (SP1 binding sites), a
nuclear factor‐κB, and a cyclic AMP response element‐like motif, are present in
the 5′‐fl... hiện toàn bộ
Molecular Cloning and Regional Distribution of a Human Proton Receptor Subunit with Biphasic Functional PropertiesJournal of Neurochemistry - Tập 72 Số 1 - Trang 51-57 - 1999
K. Babinski, Khanh-Tuoc Lê, Philippe Séguéla
Abstract : Small changes of extracellular pH activate depolarizing inward
currents in most nociceptive neurons. It has been recently proposed that acid
sensitivity of sensory as well as central neurons is mediated by a family of
proton‐gated cation channels structurally related to Caenorhabditis elegans
degenerins and mammalian epithelial sodium channels. We describe here the
molecular cloning of ... hiện toàn bộ
Ammonia Intoxication: Effects on Cerebral Cortex and Spinal CordJournal of Neurochemistry - Tập 44 Số 4 - Trang 1252-1258 - 1985
Sping Lin, W. Raabe
Abstract: The effect of an acute systemic ammonia intoxication on the metabolic
states of the cerebral cortex and the spinal cord of the same animal was studied
in the cat. The intravenous infusion of ammonium acetate (2 and 4 mmol/kg body
weight/30 min) increased the gross levels of tissue NH4, glutamine,
glutamine/glutamate ratio, lactate, and the lactate/pyruvate ratio in the
cerebral cortex an... hiện toàn bộ
