Brain iron insufficiency has been implicated in several neurological disorders. The dopamine system is consistently altered in studies of iron deficiency in rodent models. Changes in striatal dopamine D(2) receptors are directly proportional to the degree of iron deficiency. In

The accumulation of specific metabolic intermediates is known to promote cancer progression. We analyzed the role of 4-pyridone-3-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribonucleoside (4PYR), a nucleotide metabolite that accumulates in the blood of cancer patients, using the 4T1 murine in vivo breast cancer model, and
Reducing neuroinflammatory damage is an effective strategy for treating white-matter damage (WMD) in premature infants. Caffeine can ameliorate hypoxia-ischemia-induced brain WMD; however, its neuroprotective effect and mechanism against hypoxic-ischemic WMD remain unclear. We used 3-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats to establish a
The A2 selective adenosine receptor agonist 2-p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethylamino-5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (CGS 21680) depressed the spontaneous, acetylcholine- and glutamate-evoked firing of rat cerebral sensorimotor cortical neurons. Iontophoretically applied CGS 21680 was equipotent with adenosine as a depressant and its actions were antagonized by 8-p-sulphophenyltheophylline

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common autoimmune disorders characterized by the infiltration of immune cells into the brain and demyelination. The unwanted immunosuppressive side effect of therapeutically successful natalizumab led us to focus on the choroid plexus (CP)
