Osteoblasts derived osteocalcin (OCN) is recently reported to be involved in dopaminergic neuronal development. As dopaminergic neuronal injury in the substantia nigra (SN) is a pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD), we investigated whether ...

Implications of glial metabolic dysregulation in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases
Glial cells are the most abundant cells of the brain, outnumbering neurons. These multifunctional cells are crucial for maintaining brain homeostasis by providing trophic and nutritional support to neurons, sculpting synapses, and providing an immune ...

Sphingolipid metabolism in brain insulin resistance and neurological diseases
Sphingolipids, as members of the large lipid family, are important components of plasma membrane. Sphingolipids participate in biological signal transduction to regulate various important physiological processes such as cell growth, apoptosis, senescence,

The landscape of metabolic brain alterations in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
AbstractINTRODUCTIONAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is accompanied by metabolic alterations both in the periphery and the central nervous system. However, so far, a global view of AD-associated metabolic changes in brain has been missing.METHODSWe metabolically profiled 500 samples from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

Alzheimer's Disease: Metabolic Uncoupling of Associative Brain Regions [PDF]
Abstract:Evidence indicates that Alzheimer's disease (AD) causes functional disconnection of neocortical association areas. In mildly demented AD patients without measurable neocortically-mediated cognitive abnormalities, positron emission tomography demonstrates reduced parietal lobe glucose metabolism and left/right metabolic asymmetries in ...

The glutamine-glutamate cycle provides neurons with astrocyte-generated glutamate/γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and oxidizes glutamate in astrocytes, and it returns released transmitter glutamate/GABA to neurons after astrocytic uptake.

Background Biallelic pathogenic variants in CBS gene cause the most common form of homocystinuria, the classical homocystinuria (HCU). The worldwide prevalence of HCU is estimated to be 0.82:100,000 [95% CI, 0.39–1.73:100,000] according to clinical ...
