Neuroinflammation and oxidative redox imbalance drive memory dysfunction in adolescent rats prenatally exposed to Datura Stramonium

Author(s): Bamisi O; Oluwalabani AO; Arogundade TT; Olajide OJ;

Although there have been reports indicating that Datura Stramonium (D. stramonium) may induce anticholinergic and neuropsychiatry effects, the compound is still being used for recreational and medicinal purposes while ingestion during pregnancy has been documented. Intriguingly, minimal studies have investigated the potential neurotoxic impact of D. stram ...

The immunomodulatory effect of oral NaHCO3 is mediated by the splenic nerve: multivariate impact revealed by artificial neural networks

Author(s): Alvarez MR; Alkaissi H; Rieger AM; Esber GR; Acosta ME; Stephenson SI; Maurice AV; Valencia LMR; Roman CA; Alarcon JM;

Stimulation of the inflammatory reflex (IR) is a promising strategy for treating systemic inflammatory disorders. Recent studies suggest oral sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) as a potential activator of the IR, offering a safe and cost-effective treatment approach. However, the mechanisms underlying N ...

A Cluster Analysis of Oral and Cognitive Health Indicators: An Exploratory Study on Cholinergic Activity as the Link

Author(s): Rohani K; Nicolau B; Madathil S; Booij L; Jafarpour D; Haricharan PB; Feine J; Alchini R; Tamimi F; de Souza R;

Introduction: Poor oral health has been suggested as a risk factor for cognitive decline. Yet, biologically plausible mechanisms explaining this relationship remain unknown. Objectives: We aimed (1) to identify oral and cognitive health clustering patterns among middle-aged to elderly Canadians ...

Structural determination and anticholinesterase assay of C-glycosidic ellagitannins from Lawsonia inermis leaves: A study supported by DFT calculations and molecular docking

Author(s): Orabi MAA; Orabi EA; Abdel-Sattar ES; English AM; Hatano T; Elimam H;

An ellagitannin monomer, lythracin M (1), and a dimer, lythracin D (2), along with eight known monomers (3-10) were isolated from Lawsonia inermis (Lythraceae) leaves. Lythracin M (1) is a C-glycosidic ellagitannin with a flavogallonyl dilactone moiety that participates in the creation of a ?-lactone ring with the anomeric carbon of the glucose core. Lyth ...

Inhibiting amyloid beta (1-42) peptide-induced mitochondrial dysfunction prevents the degradation of synaptic proteins in the entorhinal cortex

Author(s): Olajide OJ; La Rue C; Bergdahl A; Chapman CA;

Increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction and aberrant release of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) play crucial roles in early synaptic perturbations and neuropathology that drive memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We recently showed that solubilized human amyloid beta peptide 1-42 (hAß1-42) causes rapid alterati ...

Normal cognition in Parkinson's disease may involve hippocampal cholinergic compensation: An exploratory PET imaging study with [(18)F]-FEOBV

Author(s): Legault-Denis C; Aghourian M; Soucy JP; Rosa-Neto P; Dagher A; Aumont E; Wickens R; Bedard MA;

Background: Severe cholinergic degeneration is known to occur in Parkinson's disease (PD) and is thought to play a primary role in the cognitive decline associated with this disease. Although cholinergic losses occur in all patients with PD, cognitive performance remains normal for many of th ...

Plasma levels of one-carbon metabolism nutrients in women with anorexia nervosa

Author(s): Burdo J; Booij L; Kahan E; Thaler L; Israël M; Agellon LB; Nitschmann E; Wykes L; Steiger H;

Objective: People who are ill with anorexia nervosa (AN) show altered availability of key plasma nutrients. However, little is known about the patterning of alterations that occurs across diverse nutrients during active phases of illness or about the persistence of any such alterations following ...
