The cyanobacterial neurotoxin β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) induces neuronal and behavioral changes in honeybees.
The cyanobacterially produced neurotoxin beta-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) is thought to induce amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Parkinsonism dementia complex (ALS/PDC)-like symptoms. However, its mechanism of action and its pathway of intoxication are yet unknown. In vivo animal models suitable for investigating the neurotoxic effect of BMAA with applicability to the human are scarce. Hence, we...
متن کاملβ-N-Methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) Toxicity Is Gender and Exposure-Age Dependent in Rats
Cyanobacterial β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) has been suggested as a causative or contributory factor in the development of several neurodegenerative diseases. However, no BMAA animal model has adequately shown clinical or behavioral symptoms that correspond to those seen in either Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Parkinson's Disease (PD). We present here the ...

متن کاملCadmium-induced behavioral changes in growing rats.
Sixty growing male albino rats of the ITRC bred colony, weighing 150-160 g (2 months old) , served as subjects. They were housed in stainless steel cages, in groups of ten and maintained on a 12:12 photoperiod (lights on 06.00-18.00 hr) in a temperature controlled (22 •} 2.0•‹) room. Hind Lever Laboratory chow and water were provided ad lib. The animals were divided into two equal groups and th...
متن کاملSurgery-induced behavioral changes in aged rats.
Elderly patients may experience impairments in cognition or mood following surgery. To study the development and underlying mechanisms of these postoperative behavioral changes, young (3 months) and aged (18-20 months) male rats were subjected to abdominal surgery followed by behavioral testing during a period of 6 weeks. Microglia activation (IBA-1) and neurogenesis (DCX) were immunohistochemi...
