Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]
Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.

Objective Cerebral ischemic stroke causes neuronal oxygen/energy deprivation, disrupting mitochondrial function including reduced membrane potential and bioenergetics, exacerbating neuronal injury. Mitochondrial defects are, therefore, a central neuropathological node and potential therapeutic target.

ABSTRACT The etiopathogenesis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) encompasses complex interactions between genetic and environmental risk factors. The high prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders in autistic individuals has propelled a growing interest in the possible involvement of gut dysbiosis in ASD pathogenesis.

Delayed treatment with nimesulide reduces measures of oxidative stress following global ischemic brain injury in gerbils [PDF]
Metabolism of arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenase is one of the primary sources of reactive oxygen species in the ischemic brain. Neuronal overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 has recently been shown to contribute to neurodegeneration following ischemic ...

Neuroprotection by Mitochondrial NAD Against Glutamate-Induced Excitotoxicity
Excitotoxicity is a pathological process that occurs in many neurological diseases, such as stroke or epilepsy, and is characterized by the extracellular accumulation of high concentrations of glutamate or other excitatory amino acids (EAAs ...
