The small heat shock protein Hsp27 protects cortical neurons against the toxic effects of beta-amyloid peptide.

30 Oct 2009 Neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques are considered to be hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the toxic effects of amyloid-beta peptide (A beta) lead to activation of stress-related signaling and neuronal loss. The small heat shock ... Read more...

Abnormality of synaptic vesicular associated proteins in cerebral cortex and hippocampus after microwave exposure.

30 Oct 2009 Studies were performed to determine the effects of microwave on synaptic vesicles and the expression of synaptic vesicular associated proteins including synapsin I, VAMP-2, syntaxin, and synaptophysin. 25 Wistar rats were exposed to microwave which ... Read more...

Suppression of glial HO-1 activity as a potential neurotherapeutic intervention in AD.

29 Sep 2009 The mechanisms responsible for oxidative damage, pathological brain iron deposition and mitochondrial insufficiency in Alzheimer disease (AD) remain enigmatic. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a 32 kDa stress protein that catabolizes heme to biliverdin, ... Read more...
