Tau dysfunction in the basal ganglia of a mouse model of tauopathy related to PSP
Objective: Determine motor coordination and neurochemical phenotypes in the basal ganglia of mice lacking the Tau protein or expressing an abnormal content of Tau isoforms.…Neuroprotective and antidepressant-like effects of the endogenous amines from tetrahydroisoquinoline group TIQ and 1MeTIQ in the animal model of depressive disorder: Behavioral and neurochemical studies in the rat
Objective: For the purpose of estimation neuroprotective and antidepressant-like effects of the endogenous amines 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) and its close methyl derivative, 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (1MeTIQ) in the…Dopaminergic medication affects choice bias in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Assess dopaminergic effects on choice bias in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Bradykinesia, rigidity and resting tremor are the core symptoms of PD, but many…Vagus nerve stimulation as a novel treatment strategy for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the therapeutic potential of chronic vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) to attenuate the behavioral and neuronal deficits observed in Parkinson's disease (PD) by…Carrier mediated delivery system bearing dopamine for effective management of parkinsonism
Objective: In the present investigation, amino acid coupled liposome bearing dopamine-HCl were prepared to deliver drug to the brain utilizing receptor-mediated transcytosis for effective management…AMP kinase regulates ligand-gated K-ATP channels in substantia nigra dopamine neurons
Objective: To characterize the effect of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) on ATP-sensitive K+ (K-ATP) channels on substantia nigra compacta (SNC) dopamine neurons in slices of…The efficacy of quantitative 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT in diagnosis of aged patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aim to establish the normal reference with quantitative 99mTc-Trodat-1 (TRODAT) SPECT and verify the diagnostic performance in aged Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background:…Evaluation of regional changes in striatal DAT binding in a progressing Parkinson’s disease (PD) cohort: Lessons for imaging biomarker assessment in disease-modifying therapeutic trials
Objective: To evaluate subregion-dependent striatal changes in dopamine transporter (DAT) binding using 123-I Ioflupane SPECT in PD participants in the Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI)…Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation modulate catecholamine levels with significant relations to clinical outcome after surgery in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Because subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation is effective in L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine responsive patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), the preoperative catecholamine levels may affect the effect…The neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) reverses the dopaminergic deficiencies in mild hepatic encephalopathy: A possible therapeutic issue for the management of parkinsonism in cirrhotic patients
Objective: In the present study, we describe the changes of the dopaminergic system occurring in the cirrhotic rats and concomitantly we investigated the effect of…
