Narcolepsy: autoimmunity, effector T cell activation due to infection, or T cell independent, major histocompatibility complex class II induced neuronal loss? [PDF]
Human narcolepsy with cataplexy is a neurological disorder, which develops due to a deficiency in hypocretin producing neurons in the hypothalamus. There is a strong association with human leucocyte antigens HLA-DR2 and HLA-DQB1*0602.

The excitotoxin quinolinic acid induces tau phosphorylation in human neurons.
Some of the tryptophan catabolites produced through the kynurenine pathway (KP), and more particularly the excitotoxin quinolinic acid (QA), are likely to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Excitotoxic degeneration of hypothalamic orexin neurons in slice culture
Several lines of evidence indicate that narcolepsy, a sleep disorder, results from the loss of hypothalamic orexin (hypocretin)-containing neurons, but the mechanisms responsible for selective elimination of this neuronal population are unknown.

Vitamin B, Relative Nutritive Value and Palatability of Germinated Com (Zea mays L.) 1 [PDF]
Changes in the riboflavin, niacin, thiamin and Relative Nutritive Value (RNV) in germinated com were studied. The corn were germinated for four days at 30°C and then dried at 50°C and ground. The vitamins were analysed by microbiological methods. The RNV
