Late-onset Parkinsonism in NFκB/c-Rel-deficient mice. [PDF]

, 2012
Activation of the nuclear factor \u3baB/c-Rel can increase neuronal resilience to pathological noxae by regulating the expression of pro-survival manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD, now known as SOD2) and Bcl-xL genes.

Hepatic fibrogenesis requires sympathetic neurotransmitters [PDF]

, 2004
Background and aims: Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are activated by liver injury to become proliferative fibrogenic myofibroblasts. This process may be regulated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) but the mechanisms involved are unclear.

Psychopathology and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid excretion [PDF]

Journal of Psychiatric Research, 1965
Abstract Schizophrenics and nonschizophrenics do not differ in urinary excretion of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid on either a concentration or 24 h basis, nor do they differ in variability of excretion. Although a pattern was observed of decreasing psychopathology with increasing 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid excretion, this pattern may be related to ...

Elevated cerebrospinal fluid 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in macaques following early life stress and inverse association with hippocampal volume: preliminary implications for serotonin-related function in mood and anxiety disorders [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Early life stress (ELS) is cited as a risk for mood and anxiety disorders, potentially through altered serotonin neurotransmission. We examined the effects of ELS, utilizing the variable foraging demand (VFD) macaque model, on adolescent ...
