The Effect of Acylcarnitines on Cognitive Function: A Two‐Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
Brain and Behavior, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.This study is the first to employed TSMR to investigate the causal relationship between 20 acylcarnitines and neurocognitive outcomes. The findings indicate that lower genetically predicted levels of acetyl‐L‐carnitine and butyrylcarnitine are associated with diminished cognitive performance, underscoring their potential clinical implications in the ...

Astrocytes Control Neuronal Excitability in the Nucleus Accumbens
The Scientific World Journal, 2007 Though accumulating evidence shows that the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) mediates some of the actions of extracellular glutamate after cocaine use, the cellular events underlying this action are poorly understood.

European Journal of Pain, Volume 29, Issue 6, July 2025.ABSTRACT Background Glutamate, the primary neurotransmitter released by nociceptors, is predominantly synthesised by the enzyme Glutaminase 1 (GLS1). The involvement of GLS1 in pain pathways is well supported, as Gls1 heterozygous mice exhibit altered nociception and GLS1 levels increase in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) under chronic peripheral ...

Computational Drug Design Applied to the Study of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors
Molecules, 2019 Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors are a family of eight GPCRs that are attractive drug discovery targets to modulate glutamate action and response. Here we review the application of computational methods to the study of this family of receptors.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.Neurotoxicity of Hcy. (A figure that best represents the scope of the paper.) Homocysteine can reduce the tightness of endothelial cell connections, increase vascular permeability, and damage the blood–brain barrier. Homocysteine activates various glutamate receptors on the surfaces of neurons and glial cells, triggering excitotoxicity, promoting the ...
