KCNQ Channels Regulate Age-Related Memory Impairment
In humans KCNQ2/3 heteromeric channels form an M-current that acts as a brake on neuronal excitability, with mutations causing a form of epilepsy. The M-current has been shown to be a key regulator of neuronal plasticity underlying associative memory and ethanol response in mammals. Previous work has shown that many of the molecules and plasticity mechanisms underlying changes in alcohol behavi...
متن کاملGenetic Dissection of Age-related Memory Impairment in Drosophila
Age-related memory impairment (AMI) is an important phenotype of brain aging. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying AMI is important not only from a scientific viewpoint but also for the development of therapeutics that may eventually lead to developing drugs to combat memory loss. AMI has been generally considered to be an overall or nonspecifi c decay of memory processes that resu...
متن کاملAntioxidants reverse age-related collateral growth impairment.
Aging is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, including arterial occlusive disease. Oxidant stress increases with age, and may be a significant factor contributing to vascular dysfunction and disease. We have shown that aging and hypertension impair collateral growth, the natural compensatory response to arterial occlusive disease, and that antioxidants restore co...
متن کاملAge-Related Impairment in Insulin Release
In this study, we investigated the significance of β(2)-adrenergic receptor (β(2)AR) in age-related impaired insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. We characterized the metabolic phenotype of β(2)AR-null C57Bl/6N mice (β(2)AR(-/-)) by performing in vivo and ex vivo experiments. In vitro assays in cultured INS-1E β-cells were carried out in order to clarify the mechanism by which β(2)AR defi...
متن کاملAge related visual impairment in the elderly.
Visual impairment among the elderly is a major health problem. With advancing age, the normal function of eye tissues decreases and there is an increased incidence of ocular pathology. Demographic studies have shown that age is the best predictor of blindness and visual impairment. The most common causes of age related visual impairment in the elderly are presbyopia, cataracts, age related macu...
