Investigating the role of Prefrontal Neurons in cognitive tasks through Fiber Photometry and Adapted Barnes Maze Protocols

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is essential in the execution of cognitive tasks, however very little is known on how these neurons are modulated during specific tasks and which subtype of neurons are responsible for so. Therego, with the intention of addressing this issue, we recorded mPFC gabaergic...

nNav1.5 expression is associated with glutamate level in breast cancer cells

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
Abstract Background: Glutamate and voltage-gated sodium channels, both have been the target of intense investigation for its involvement in carcinogenesis and progression of malignant disease. Breast cancer with increased level of glutamate often metastasize to other organs (especially bone), whilst re-e...

In vitro Studies of Antitumor Activity of Vanadium Complexes with Orotic and Glutamic Acids

Rev. bras. cancerol; 66 (1), 2020
Introduction: Three vanadium complexes with orotic and glutamic acids, in their anion forms, were prepared and their in vitro cytotoxicity toward human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5), human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) are reported. Objective: Describe the synth...

Hormones, food, stress and infections: their etiological role in autoimmune diseases

Introduction: The etiology of autoimmune diseases is still unknown, but different causes arise. Objective: To describe the role of hormones, diet, stress and infections in the etiology of autoimmune diseases. Methods: A bibliographic review was made using the Google Scholar and articles of free acce...

Assessment of neuropharmacological potential of low molecular weight components extracted from Rhinella schneideri toad poison

Studies on toad poison are relevant since they are considered a good source of toxins that act on different biological systems. Among the molecules found in the toad poison, it can be highlighted the cardiotonic heterosides, which have a known mechanism that inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase enzyme. However, these p...

Screening of medium constituents for clavulanic acid production by Streptomyces clavuligerus

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Clavulanic acid is a β-lactam compound with potent inhibitory activity against β-lactamases. Studies have shown that certain amino acids play essential roles in CA biosynthesis. However, quantitative evaluations of the effects of these amino acids are still needed in order to improve C...

Electroacupuncture ameliorate learning and memory by improving N -acetylaspartate and glutamate metabolism in APP/PS1 mice

Biol. Res; 51 (), 2018
OBJECTIVE: To explore the precise mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) to delay cognitive impairment in Alzheimer disease. Methods N -Acetylaspartate (NAA), glutamate (Glu) and myoinositol (mI) metabolism were measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy, learning and memory of APP/PS1 mouse was evaluate...
