Age-Dependent, Subunit Specific Action of Hydrogen Sulfide on GluN1/2A and GluN1/2B NMDA Receptors

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced neuroactive gas implicated in many key processes in the peripheral and central nervous system. Whereas the neuroprotective role of H2S has been shown in adult brain, the action of this messenger in ...

Psychosis associated with anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor encephalitis

Open Journal of Psychiatry and Allied Sciences, 2020
Aim: Anti-N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis is commonly seen in women with various neuropsychiatric symptoms. Here we report a case of psychosis associated with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.

Role of Glutamate Excitotoxicity in Glioblastoma Growth and Its Implications in Treatment

Cell Biology International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glioblastoma is a highly malignant and invasive type of primary brain tumor that originates from astrocytes. Glutamate, a neurotransmitter in the brain plays a crucial role in excitotoxic cell death. Excessive glutamate triggers a pathological process known as glutamate excitotoxicity, leading to neuronal damage.

Selective vulnerabilities of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors during brain aging

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2010
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are present in high density within the cerebral cortex and hippocampus and play an important role in learning and memory.

A Proteomics Profiling Reveals the Neuroprotective Effects of Melatonin on Exogenous β‐amyloid‐42 Induced Mitochondrial Impairment, Intracellular β‐amyloid Accumulation and Tau Hyperphosphorylation in Human SH‐SY5Y Cells

Cell Biology International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is prevalent in the elderly population and characterized by the intracellular accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), composed of tau proteins, and extracellular deposition of beta‐amyloid protein (Aβ). The present study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of melatonin on Aβ42‐induced AD‐like ...

Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of G protein‐coupled receptors in autism spectrum disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Diabetic retinopathy and the NMDA receptor [PDF]

Drug News & Perspectives, 2002
Diabetic retinopathy is a major sight-threatening disease and is a leading cause of blindness. There is an emerging body of evidence that suggests that neuronal changes are an early phenomenon in the diabetic retina and that several cell types are affected, including the ganglion cells.

Action of GABAB receptor on local network oscillation in somatosensory cortex of oral part: focusing on NMDA receptor

Journal of Physiological Sciences
The balance of activity between glutamatergic and GABAergic networks is particularly important for oscillatory neural activities in the brain. Here, we investigated the roles of GABAB receptors in network oscillation in the oral somatosensory cortex (OSC)
