Protective effect of transgenic expression of porcine heat shock protein 70 on hypothalamic ischemic and oxidative damage in a mouse model of heatstroke.

Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Transgenic mice have been used to examine the role of heat shock protein (HSP)72 in experimental heatstroke. Transgenic mice that were heterozygous for a porcine HSP70beta gene ([+] HSP72) and transgene-negative littermate controls ([-] ... Read more...

Primary ovarian dysfunction contributes to the hypogonadism in women with Prader-Willi Syndrome.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND/AIMS: To investigate the etiology of hypogonadism in women with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). METHODS: Ten women aged 23 +/- 5.5 years with PWS and 10 age- and BMI-matched controls were included. Blood samples were drawn and abdominal ... Read more...

Absence of ubiquitinated inclusions in hypocretin neurons of patients with narcolepsy.

16 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: The cause of hypocretin cell loss in human narcolepsy-cataplexy is unknown but has been suggested to be neurodegenerative in nature. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the remaining hypocretin cells in human narcolepsy brains for the ... Read more...
