Mental stress objective screening for workers using urinary neurotransmitters.
PLoS ONE, 2023 BackgroundAlmost 10% of the population develop depression or anxiety disorder during their lifetime. Considering that people who are exposed to high stress are more likely to develop mental disorders, it is important to detect and remove mental stress ...

Homovanillic acid in human cerebrospinal fluid.--Its concentration gradient and reduced levels in patients with epilepsy [PDF]
, 1978 The homovanillic acid (HVA) concentrations in the lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were determined in 38 epileptic and 39 control patients. The mean concentration of HVA was 23.9 ng/ml +/- 2.8 SEM for the epileptic group and 30.2 ng/ml +/- 2.1 SEM for ...

The competitive NMDA antagonist CPP protects substantia nigra neurons from MPTP-induced degeneration in primates [PDF]
, 1993 Degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons is the primary histopathological feature of Parkinson's disease. The neurotoxin MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) induces a neurological syndrome in man and non-human primates very ...

Adult vitamin D deficiency leads to behavioural and brain neurochemical alterations in C57BL/6J and BALB/c mice [PDF]
, 2013 Epidemiological evidence suggests that low levels of vitamin D may predispose people to develop depression and cognitive impairment. While rodent studies have demonstrated that prenatal vitamin D deficiency is associated with altered brain development ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Altered Dopamine Metabolism and Response to Treatment with Levodopa/Carbidopa in MCT8 Deficiency
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Allan‐Herndon‐Dudley syndrome (AHDS)/monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) deficiency is a rare X‐linked encephalopathy caused by SLC16A2 variants, impairing thyroid hormone (TH) transport into the brain. This leads to early central nervous system (CNS) TH deficiency, affecting brain maturation.

Integrins engage mitochondrial function for signal transduction by a mechanism dependent on Rho GTPases. [PDF]
, 2002 We show here the transient activation of the small GTPase Rac, followed by a rise in reactive oxygen species (ROS), as necessary early steps in a signal transduction cascade that lead to NFkappaB activation and collagenase-1 (CL-1)/matrix ...
