Molecular Mechanisms of Glutamate Toxicity in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, the pathological features of which include the presence of Lewy bodies and the neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta.

Potential Thai medicinal plants for neurodegenerative diseases: A review focusing on the anti-glutamate toxicity effect [PDF]
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) are a range of debilitating conditions of the brain involving progressive loss of neurons, many of which are still currently incurable despite enormous efforts on drug discovery and development in the past decade.

Chronic glutamate toxicity in neurodegenerative diseases-what is the evidence? [PDF]
Together with aspartate, glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Glutamate binds and activates both ligand-gated ion channels (ionotropic glutamate receptors) and a class of G-protein coupled receptors (metabotropic glutamate ...

Natural products as safeguards against monosodium glutamate-induced toxicity [PDF]
Monosodium glutamate is a sodium salt of a nonessential amino acid, L-glutamic acid, which is widely used in food industry. Glutamate plays an important role in principal brain functions including formation and stabilization of synapses, memory ...

In vivo evidence of glutamate toxicity in multiple sclerosis. [PDF]
ObjectiveThere is increasing evidence that altered glutamate (Glu) homeostasis is involved in the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vivo effects of excess brain Glu on neuroaxonal integrity measured by N‐acetylaspartate (NAA), brain volume, and clinical outcomes in a large, prospectively followed ...

Protective Effect of Osmundacetone against Neurological Cell Death Caused by Oxidative Glutamate Toxicity. [PDF]
Oxidative stress is one of the main causes of brain cell death in neurological disorders. The use of natural antioxidants to maintain redox homeostasis contributes to alleviating neurodegeneration. Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter that plays a

Pathological Interplay between Inflammation and Mitochondria Aggravates Glutamate Toxicity. [PDF]
Mitochondrial dysfunction and glutamate toxicity are associated with neural disorders, including brain trauma. A review of the literature suggests that toxic and transmission actions of neuronal glutamate are spatially and functionally separated.

Mitochondrial Cyclosporine A-Independent Palmitate/Ca2+-Induced Permeability Transition Pore (PA-mPT Pore) and Its Role in Mitochondrial Function and Protection against Calcium Overload and Glutamate Toxicity [PDF]
A sharp increase in the permeability of the mitochondrial inner membrane known as mitochondrial permeability transition (or mPT) occurs in mitochondria under the conditions of Ca2+ and ROS stress.
