Grapefruit juice is a well‐established inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, but its effects on other CYP enzymes or organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) are not fully characterized in humans. Recently, lingonberry powder was shown to induce murine CYP enzymes. We investigated the effects of lingonberry powder and grapefruit juice on seven

Lipid peroxidation biomarkers for evaluating oxidative stress in equine neuroaxonal dystrophy. [PDF]
BackgroundEquine neuroaxonal dystrophy/equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (eNAD/EDM) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting genetically predisposed foals maintained on an α-tocopherol (α-TOH) deficient diet.

Purpose. Genetics has made significant contributions to the study of glaucoma over the past few decades. Cholesterol-24S-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) is a cholesterol-metabolizing enzyme that is especially expressed in retinal ganglion cells.

The major brain cholesterol metabolite 24(s)-hydroxycholesterol is a potent allosteric modulator of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors [PDF]
N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated ion channels that are critical to the regulation of excitatory synaptic function in the CNS.

CYP46A1 inhibition, brain cholesterol accumulation and neurodegeneration pave the way for Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Abnormalities in neuronal cholesterol homeostasis have been suspected or observed in several neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. However, it has not been demonstrated whether an increased abundance of cholesterol in neurons in vivo contributes to neurodegeneration.

Methylome-wide association study of different responses to risperidone in schizophrenia
Background: Accumulating evidence shows that DNA methylation plays a role in antipsychotic response. However, the mechanisms by which DNA methylation changes are associated with antipsychotic responses remain largely unknown.Methods: We performed a ...

Reduction of the Cholesterol Sensor SCAP in the Brains of Mice Causes Impaired Synaptic Transmission and Altered Cognitive Function [PDF]
The sterol sensor SCAP is a key regulator of SREBP-2, the major transcription factor controlling cholesterol synthesis. Recently, we showed that there is a global down-regulation of cholesterol synthetic genes, as well as SREBP-2, in the brains of ...

Structural Basis of Drug Binding to CYP46A1, an Enzyme That Controls Cholesterol Turnover in the Brain [PDF]
Cytochrome P450 46A1 (CYP46A1) initiates the major pathway of cholesterol elimination from the brain and thereby controls cholesterol turnover in this organ. We determined x-ray crystal structures of CYP46A1 in complex with four structurally distinct pharmaceuticals; antidepressant tranylcypromine (2.15 Å), anticonvulsant thioperamide (1.65 Å ...

Unilateral mastication, a common oral habit, induces cognitive decline in rats by disrupting hippocampal cholesterol metabolism. It triggers astrocyte hyperplasia, enhances cholesterol synthesis, impairs transport/degradation, and reduces 24‐hydroxycholesterol (24‐OHC), ultimately damaging synaptic function.
