Epigenetic Changes Related to Hypertension in Asian Adults: A Systematic Review
PRISMA study flow diagram. ABSTRACT Background Elevated high blood pressure is controlled by complicated, little‐understood genetic and epigenetic pathways that are influenced by both heritable and environmental variables. Many adult systolic and diastolic blood pressure‐related genomic loci have been identified through previous genome‐wide association

Noradrenergic Dysfunction in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases—An Overview of Imaging Studies
Noradrenergic dysfunction contributes to cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Parkinson's Disease (PD). Conventional therapeutic strategies seek to enhance cholinergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission in AD and PD, respectively, and few

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) protein expression and activity after dopaminergic and noradrenergic lesions of the rat brain. [PDF]
The occurrence of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) in presynaptic neurons remains controversial. This study utilized dopaminergic and noradrenergic toxins to assess the presence of COMT in the presynaptic neurons originating from the substantia nigra,

Adrenergic Control of P2Y6 Receptor‐Dependent Phagocytosis in Rodent and Human Microglia
Adrenergic signaling through ADRB2 modulates phagocytosis in microglia. Crosstalk between ADRB2 and P2Y6 receptors conserved in rodent and human microglia. ADRB2 activation inhibits both P2Y6 function and gene expression. ABSTRACT Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are in constant survey of their environment ...

Progress of non‐motor symptoms in early‐onset Parkinson's disease
This study reviews the research progress related to non‐motor symptoms (NMS) in patients with early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD), including neuropsychiatric symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, sleep disorders, and sensory disorders and also summarizes the characteristics of NMS in the genetic form of Parkinson's disease (PD).

Rest–Activity Disturbances Correlate with Core Features in Dementia with Lewy Bodies
Abstract Background Sleep–wake disturbances are a clinically important and poorly studied feature of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) due to the challenges of in‐laboratory polysomnography in this population. Objectives To compare rest–activity rhythms in DLB, Parkinson's disease (PD), and age‐matched controls using home‐based wrist actigraphy and ...
