Cerebrospinal Fluid Proenkephalin Predicts Striatal Atrophy Decades before Clinical Motor Diagnosis in Huntington's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by early, selective, progressive vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Proenkephalin (PENK), a precursor of opioid peptides abundantly expressed in MSNs, is a promising biomarker of striatal integrity, but region‐specific associations and its potential for early‐stage ...

Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields: A Novel Attractive Therapeutic Opportunity for Neuroprotection After Acute Cerebral Ischemia

open access: yesNeuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Acute cerebral ischemia is characterized by several pathological processes evolving during time, which contribute to the final tissue damage. Secondary processes, such as prolonged inflammatory response, impaired mitochondrial function and oxidative stress, are responsible for the progression of brain injury to the peri‐infarct area,

Regulation of 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/∆5-∆4 Isomerase: A Review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This review focuses on the expression and regulation of 3β-hydroxysteroi ddehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4 isomerase (3β-HSD), with emphasis on the porcine version. 3β-HSD is often associated with steroidogenesis, but its function in the metabolism of both steroids ...

Atypical presentation of pheochromocytoma as acute ischemic stroke and pulmonary embolism, a case report

open access: yesUroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine‐secreting tumor that often presents with symptoms such as hypertension, palpitations, and sweating due to excessive hormone production. In some cases, the catecholamine‐induced vasoconstriction and hypercoagulability associated with pheochromocytomas can lead to cerebrovascular accidents and ...

Consequences of the Lack of IL-10 in Different Endotoxin Effects and its Relationship With Glucocorticoids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Sepsis constitutes one of the major causes of death in ICUs. In sepsis induced by gram-negative, although lipopolysaccharide (LPS) initially induces an exacerbated secretion of proinflammatory cytokines leading to endotoxic shock and death resembling a ...

The role of the medial prefrontal cortex (cingulate gyrus) in the regulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal responses to stress

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 1993
In the studies reported here we have examined the role of the medial prefrontal cortex (MpFC) in regulating hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activity under basal and stressful conditions.

Identification of genetically predicted protein biomarkers and drug targets for prostate cancer via Mendelian randomization

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Prostate cancer, a leading cause of cancer in men globally, urgently requires improved diagnostic and treatment strategies. This study analyzed large genetic datasets and identified five key proteins (THBD, DST, IFI27L2, OSBPL10, PPP1R14A) that either increase or decrease cancer risk, while also exploring their roles in immune response and potential ...

Genetic variation of TLR4 influences immunoendocrine stress response: an observational study in cardiac surgical patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Introduction: Systemic inflammation (e.g. following surgery) involves Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and leads to an endocrine stress response. This study aims to investigate a possible influence of TLR2 and TLR4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
