Animal models of Parkinson’s disease [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2012 Animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD) have been widely used in the past four decades to investigate the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of this neurodegenerative disorder. These models have been classically based on the systemic or local (intracerebral) administration of neutoxins that are able to replicate most of the pathological and phenotypic ...

Parathyroid Diseases and Animal Models [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 CIRCULATING CALCIUM AND PHOSPHATE ARE TIGHTLY REGULATED BY THREE HORMONES: the active form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D), fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, and parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH acts to stimulate a rapid increment in serum calcium and has a crucial role in calcium homeostasis. Major target organs of PTH are kidney and bone.

Animal models of neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria, 2013 The prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), increases with age, and the number of affected patients is expected to increase worldwide in the next decades. Accurately understanding the etiopathogenic mechanisms of these diseases is a crucial step for developing disease-modifying drugs able

Animal models of renal disease [PDF]
Kidney International, 2008 Mice have become a favored species to model disease. Many mouse strains have proven relatively resistant to some manipulations that have generated renal disease in other species. Kirchhoff et al. describe a means of producing hypertension, proteinuria, and glomerular sclerosis in a mouse strain.

Animal Models of Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
International Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2010 The necessity for a deeper understanding of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) that increase in frequency as a function of age has become of paramount importance with the coming of age of the baby boom generation and the increasing social demands for individuals to perform better and longer.

Animal models of neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]
Nature Neuroscience, 2018 Animal models of adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases have enhanced the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Nevertheless, our understanding of these disorders and the development of mechanistically designed therapeutics can still benefit ...

Animal Models for Periodontal Disease [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2011 Animal models and cell cultures have contributed new knowledge in biological sciences, including periodontology. Although cultured cells can be used to study physiological processes that occur during the pathogenesis of periodontitis, the complex host response fundamentally responsible for this disease cannot be reproduced in vitro.

Improving translational studies: lessons from rare neuromuscular diseases [PDF]
, 2015 Animal models play a key role in the development of novel treatments for human disease. This is particularly true for rare diseases – defined as disorders that affect less than 1 in 2000 people in the human population – for which, very often, there are ...
