Piper betle L. Attenuates 6-OHDA Induced Apoptosis in SH-SY5Y Cells and Neuronal Injury in Caenorhabditis elegans Parkinson’s Model
Objective: To explore the anti-apoptotic effects of Piper bitle leaf extract (PLE) on 6-OHDA induced cellular injury in human neuroblastoma cell SH-SY5Y. To analyse the neuroprotective…Serum vitamin B12 levels in patients with Parkinson’s disease and its association with peripheral neuropathy and cognition
Objective: To compare serum Vitamin B12 levels among PD patients and normal controls and to assess the association of Vitamin B12 levels with various disease parameters, peripheral…The highly-selective metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 positive allosteric modulator LY-487,379 alleviates psychosis-like behaviours and dyskinesia in the MPTP-lesioned marmoset
Objective: To investigate the effect of metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2) activation on L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA)-induced psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) and dyskinesia in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned marmoset…Role of Apocyanin in modulating glial cell functions and associated inflammatory response in Lipopolysaccharide induced Parkinson’s disease model.
Objective: To explore the effect of apocyanin on glia mediated inflammatory response and α-synuclein aggregation in single intranigral LPS induced PD model Background: Converging lines…Dextrometorphan/quinidine in Atypical Parkinsonisms and Huntington Disease
Objective: to determine whether Dextrometorphan/quinidine (DMQ) is effective in the treatment of PBA, AG or bulbar symptoms in corticobasal syndrome (CBS), multiple system atrophy (MSA),…MANF protects dopamine neurons and locomotion defect from Neurotoxin/Human alpha-synuclein-induced progressive Parkinson’s disease models in C.elegans.
Objective: To study whether Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) has beneficial effects in parkinson disease and its intracellular mechanisms. Background: The distinguishing feature of Parkinson’s…Rotenone induces astrocyte-mediated non-cell autonomous dopaminergic neurotoxicity
Objective: In this study, we examined involvement of astrocytes in rotenone-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity using primary cultured cells. Background: Several studies reported that pesticide exposure, such…Neuroprotective effects of antidepressant mirtazapine against dopaminergic neurodegeneration in cultured cells and in parkinsonian mice possibly by targeting astrocytes
Objective: In this study, we examined neuroprotective effects of mirtazapine and involvement of astrocytes in the effects using primary cultured cells and parkinsonian mice. Background:…Study of neuroprotective effects of Ginsenside Rg3 , the prototypal epigenetic Sirtuin-1 activator, in targeting microglia activation and neurotrophic factor (NF) neural plasticity in MPTP model of Parkinson’s disease (PD)
Objective: 1) to examine whether the phyto-neurosteroid: Ginsenoside Rg3 recently demonstrated to activate the epigenetic SIRTI signaling, will rescue the motor impairment in rodent model…Curcumin I prevents the developmental defective sensorimotor patterns resulted from Lead poisoning in rat
Objective: In the present investigation, we evaluated the effect of prenatal exposure of rats to lead from neonatal to adult age on the sensorimotor performances…
