Oxidative stress parameters in plasma of Huntington's disease patients, asymptomatic Huntington's disease gene carriers and healthy subjects : a cross-sectional study [PDF]
BACKGROUND : Animal data and postmortem studies suggest a role of oxidative stress in the Huntington's disease (HD), but in vivo human studies have been scarce.

Adult vitamin D deficiency leads to behavioural and brain neurochemical alterations in C57BL/6J and BALB/c mice [PDF]
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 ...

Stress has been suggested to disturb the 5-hydroxytryptamine system and decrease neurogenesis, which contribute to the development of depression. Few studies have investigated the effect of predator stress, a type of psychological stress, on depression ...

The unilateral nigral lesion induces dramatic bilateral modification on rat brain monoamine neurochemistry [PDF]
6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a neurotoxic compound commonly used to induce dopamine (DA) depletion in the nigrostriatal system, mimicking Parkinson's disease (PD) in animals.

Valproic Acid-Induced Autistic-Like Behavior Is Accompanied by Intestinal Damage Driving Changes in Gut Permeability in a Sex-Dependent Way in Rats. [PDF]
Exposure to valproic acid (VPA) caused sex‐dependent changes in the gut–brain axis, with more pronounced effects in males, including intestinal barrier dysfunction, blood–brain barrier (BBB) impairment, and social behavior deficits. Females showed intestinal inflammation and increased vascular permeability in the ileum, but no behavioral or intestinal ...
