A proteomic study to unveil lead toxicity-induced memory impairments invoked by synaptic dysregulation

Toxicology Reports, 2022
Lead (Pb2+), a ubiquitously present heavy metal toxin, has various detrimental effects on memory and cognition. However, the molecular processes affected by Pb2+ causing structural and functional anomalies are still unclear.

Orofacial antinociceptive activity and anchorage molecular mechanism in silico of geraniol [PDF]

Brazilian Oral Research, 2020
We aimed to evaluate the orofacial antinociceptive effect of geraniol in mice and its molecular anchorage mechanism. Seven mice per group (probabilistic sample) were treated with geraniol (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg, i.p.), morphine (6 mg/kg, i.p.) and ...

Reduction in Phencyclidine Induced Sensorimotor Gating Deficits in the Rat Following Increased System Xc − Activity in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]

, 2013
Rationale: Aspects of schizophrenia, including deficits in sensorimotor gating, have been linked to glutamate dysfunction and/or oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex. System xc −, a cystine–glutamate antiporter, is a poorly understood mechanism that

First evidence for the presence of amino acid sensing mechanisms in the fish gastrointestinal tract

Scientific Reports, 2021
This study aimed to characterize amino acid sensing systems in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of the carnivorous fish model species rainbow trout. We observed that the trout GIT expresses mRNAs encoding some amino acid receptors described in mammals ...

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Activation in Cerebelar Purkinje Cells as Substrate for Adaptive Timing of the Classicaly Conditioned Eye Blink Response [PDF]

, 1995
To understand how the cerebellum adaptively times the classically conditioned nictitating membrane response (NMR), a model of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) second messenger system in cerebellar Purkinje cells is constructed.

Fluorescent and photo-oxidizing TimeSTAMP tags track protein fates in light and electron microscopy. [PDF]

, 2012
Protein synthesis is highly regulated throughout nervous system development, plasticity and regeneration. However, tracking the distributions of specific new protein species has not been possible in living neurons or at the ultrastructural level ...

Antipsychotic profiles of TASP0443294, a novel and orally active positive allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate 2 receptor

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2015
Glutamatergic dysfunction has been implicated in psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. The stimulation of metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) 2 receptor has been shown to be effective in a number of animal models of schizophrenia.

mGlu2 mechanism-based interventions to treat alcohol relapse

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Recently we identified a deficiency in metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGlu2) function in the corticoaccumbal pathway, as a common pathological mechanism underlying alcohol-seeking and relapse behavior.
