Role of Membrane GM1 on Early Neuronal Membrane Actions of Aβ During Onset of Alzheimer\u27s Disease [PDF]
The ability of beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ) to disrupt the plasma membrane through formation of pores and membrane breakage has been previously described. However, the molecular determinants for these effects are largely unknown.

Neural Metabolic Networks: Key Elements of Healthy Brain Function
This review originated from the Fourth International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN) and Journal of Neurochemistry (JNC) Flagship School (2022). Here, we describe how the specific bioenergetic profiles and metabolic exchanges between brain cells enable and gate synaptic function and behavior. Then, based on this analysis, we discuss the potential role

Application of electrospray mass spectrometry to the analysis of lipids : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Food Technology at Massey University [PDF]
This work investigated the application of electrospray mass spectrometry (MS) to the elucidation of lipid structure, especially related to milkfat. This was the first time that the instrument in our laboratory had been used for this purpose.

Diagnosis and Management of Multifocal Motor Neuropathy in the United Kingdom: A Multicentre Survey
ABSTRACT Background We conducted a survey to determine the current diagnosis and treatment of multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) in the United Kingdom. Methods Demographic, diagnostic and treatment data were collected at nine UK neuroscience centres. Results Ninety‐five subjects were included. Mean age at diagnosis was 49.9 years (SD: 11.4).

Association of NGF receptors with membrane rafts in PC12 cells : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]
Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) signal transduction is involved in the survival, differentiation and maintenance of neurons through the receptors TrkA and p75NTR. These receptors activate downstream protein kinase cascades that regulate cell survival.

Induction of neuron-like tubes and liposome networks by cooperative effect of gangliosides and phospholipids [PDF]
Although there is a rather large abundance of gangliosides in neurons, their functional role is still unclear. We focused on a physicochemical role of gangliosides in the formation of tubular structures, such as axons or dendrites in neurons.

The role of complex gangliosides in glial cell biology [PDF]
Gangliosides are a family of sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids that are enriched in the nervous system. They are located in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane within lipid rafts and are thought to be involved in numerous cellular events ...

Capsaicin protects neuromuscular junctions from the inhibitory effects of botulinum neurotoxin A [PDF]
Within 24 hrs after injecting botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A) into the hindlimb, mice lost the toe spread reflex and developed progressive muscle weakness. At the same time, the compound muscle action potential amplitude decreased. Injection of capsaicin

Marked efficacy of Rituximab in multifocal motor neuropathy associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]
The authors describe a patient who presented a multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) associated with a high anti-ganglioside antibody (anti-GM1 and anti-GD1) titer at the clinical onset of a B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Immunomodulation (IVIg
