Smell and taste disorders in the UK: first experiences with a specialised smell and taste outpatient clinic [PDF]
Olfactory dysfunction is common, affecting 1‐5% of those under the age of 60 1 and at least 20% of those aged more than 60 years. 2 In many UK centres, the approach to it is variable and routine olfactory testing is not performed, as noted by a recent ...

Enhanced self-administration of the CB1 receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 in olfactory bulbectomized rats: evaluation of possible serotonergic and dopaminergic underlying mechanisms [PDF]
Depression has been associated with drug consumption, including heavy or problematic cannabis use. According to an animal model of depression and substance use disorder comorbidity, we combined the olfactory bulbectomy (OBX) model of depression with ...

Olfactory dysfunction and its related molecular mechanisms in Parkinson’s disease
Changes in olfactory function are considered to be early biomarkers of Parkinson’s disease. Olfactory dysfunction is one of the earliest non-motor features of Parkinson’s disease, appearing in about 90% of patients with early-stage Parkinson’s disease ...

CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

Parkinson's disease: autoimmunity and neuroinflammation [PDF]
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that causes the death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. The resulting dopamine deficiency in the basal ganglia leads to a movement disorder that is characterized by classical parkinsonian ...
