Propofol Neurotoxicity Is Mediated by p75 Neurotrophin Receptor Activation

open access: yesAnesthesiology, 2012
Background: Propofol exposure to neurons during synaptogenesis results in apoptosis, leading to cognitive dysfunction in adulthood. Previous work from our laboratory showed that isoflurane neurotoxicity occurs through p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR ...

The human colon: Evidence for degenerative changes during aging and the physiological consequences

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Reduced nociceptor innervation can explain diminished abdominal pain among the elderly. Degenerative changes occur within the colon wall, especially ascending colon. Mechanisms may include senescence‐like activity and inflammaging. Constipation is more likely to occur during age‐related challenges affecting functions of the bowel that now have reduced ...

Short- and Long-Term Effects of Subchronic Stress Exposure in Male and Female Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Knock-In Val66Met Mice

open access: yesBiology
Stress is an important risk factor for the onset of anxiety and depression. The ability to cope with stressful events varies among different subjects, probably depending on different genetic variants, sex and previous life experiences.

Short-Duration Maximal and Long-Duration Submaximal Effort Forearm Exercise Achieve Elevations in Serum Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a major orchestrator of exercise-induced brain plasticity and circulating (peripheral) BDNF may have central effects.

Serum Biomarkers and Their Clinical Correlates in Traumatic Trigeminal Neuropathy: A Pilot Study

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aims to investigate the serum biomarker levels in patients with painful post‐traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PPTTN) and explore the associations between these biomarkers and the clinical and psychological characteristics of the patients. Materials and Methods A total of 32 patients with PPTTN were included.

Stimulation of the neurotrophin receptor TrkB on astrocytes drives nitric oxide production and neurodegeneration

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 2012
The neurotrophin receptor TrkB is up-regulated on astrocytes in white matter lesions from multiple sclerosis patients, and mice lacking TrkB specifically in astrocytes are more resistant to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis–induced ...

Neurotrophins and Psychiatric Disorders

open access: yes, 2014
Increasing number of studies has during the last decade linked neurotrophic factors with the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders and with the mechanisms of action of drugs used for the treatment of these disorders. In particular, brain-derived neurotrophic factor BDNF and its receptor TrkB have been connected with the pathophysiology in mood ...

Microgravity‐induced changes in skeletal muscle and possible countermeasures: What we can learn from bed rest and human space studies

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.
