Alterations in Retinal Signaling Across Age and Sex in 3xTg Alzheimer's Disease Mice

Background: Visual disturbances often precede cognitive dysfunction in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and may coincide with early accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) protein in the retina. These findings have inspired critical research on in vivo…

Anthocyanin-rich black currant extract suppresses the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Dietary antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, are helpful in the prevention and control of various diseases by counteracting the imbalance of oxidative and antioxidative factors in the living systems. Black currant (Ribes nigrum L., Grossulariaceae) is…

Noncanonical mechanisms to regulate nuclear receptor signaling.

Nuclear receptor (NR)-targeted therapies comprise a large class of clinically employed drugs. A number of drugs currently being used against this protein class were designed as structural analogs of the endogenous ligand of these receptors. In recent…

Role of serotonin in Alzheimer's disease: a new therapeutic target?

Mounting evidence accumulated over the past few years indicates that the neurotransmitter serotonin plays a significant role in cognition. As a drug target, serotonin receptors have received notable attention due in particular to the role of several…

Curcumin and neurodegenerative diseases: a perspective.

INTRODUCTION: Curcumin, a dietary polyphenol found in the curry spice turmeric, possesses potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and an ability to modulate multiple targets implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic illness. Curcumin has…

Propofol causes vasodilation in vivo via TRPA1 ion channels: role of nitric oxide and BKCa channels.

BACKGROUND: Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels of the A1 (TRPA1) and V1 (TRPV1) subtypes are key regulators of vasomotor tone. Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic known to cause vasorelaxation. Our objectives were to examine the extent…

Discriminative characteristics of high and low cocaine administration: effect of other psychostimulants.

Two groups of N/Nih male rats were trained to discriminate saline vehicle from either 2.0 mg/kg (n = 10) or 10.0 mg/kg (n = 10) cocaine in a food-motivated, two-lever operant paradigm. The rats trained at the low-dose cocaine took a significantly…

Discrete versus cumulative dosing in dose-response discrimination studies.

This study describes the results of a 'side-by-side' comparison of two measurement techniques and two dosing regimens in a discrimination study using rats trained to either 10 mg/kg cocaine or 2 mg/kg 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). The…

Effect of resveratrol on herpes simplex virus vaginal infection in the mouse.

Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a natural component of certain foods, such as grapes, that, when topically applied, has been shown to limit HSV-1 lesion formation in the skin of mice [Antiviral Res. 61:19-26, 2004]. To determine if it is…

Harpagoside suppresses IL-6 expression in primary human osteoarthritis chondrocytes.

There is growing evidence in support of the involvement of inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Harpagoside, one of the bioactive components of Harpagophytum procumbens (Hp), has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory…
