ABSTRACT Background The antineoplastic drugs used in anticancer treatment regimens can induce changes in normal tissues, including salivary glands. This study evaluated the effects of clarified açaí and photobiomodulation (PBM) on the oxidative biochemistry and microstructure of the parotid glands of rats with oral mucositis. Methods Male rats (n = 54)

SUMMARY Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is the most common hereditary ataxia in the caucasian population and is characterized by a mixed spinocerebellar and sensory ataxia, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and increased incidence of diabetes.

Somatic instability of the expanded GAA repeats in Friedreich's ataxia.
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder caused by transcriptional silencing of the frataxin gene (FXN) due to expansions of GAA repeats in intron 1.

Anatomical and functional analysis of the corticospinal tract in an FRDA mouse model
Abstract Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is one of the most common hereditary ataxias. It is caused by a GAA repeat in the first intron of the FXN gene, which encodes an essential mitochondrial protein. Patients suffer from progressive motor dysfunction due to the degeneration of mechanoreceptive and proprioceptive neurons in dorsal root ...

Measuring peripheral nerve involvement in Friedreich’s ataxia
Objective Experimental therapies under development for Friedreich’s Ataxia (FRDA) require validated biomarkers. In‐vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) of skin is a noninvasive way to quantify Meissner’s corpuscle (MC) density and has emerged as a ...

IntroductionThe childhood heart disease of Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA) is characterized by hypertrophy and failure. It is caused by loss of frataxin (FXN), a mitochondrial protein involved in energy homeostasis.

The Friedreich's ataxia locus (FRDA) is tightly linked to markers D9S5 and D9S15 located in 9q13-q21. Cumulated maximum lod scores between FRDA and D9S5 and between FRDA and D9S15 are above 36 and 61, respectively, at a recombination fraction of 0, indicating that recombination events needed to orient the search of the gene are very difficult to ...
