Balancing Act: Maintaining Amino Acid Levels in the Autistic Brain
The ever-expanding number of genes that are mutated in autism is showing us how imbalances in fundamental cellular processes can lead to disease. A recent study by Tărlungeanu et al. (2016) identifies a form of ASD resulting from a failure of the brain to properly import amino acids.
متن کاملAmino Acid Levels in Children with Celiac Disease.
BACKGROUND & AIM plasma amino acid levels may show differences in regard to physiological changes, diet and diseases. The aim of the study is to measure the amino acid levels in children with celiac disease and compare them with the controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS sixty-two children with classic celiac disease and 62 age and sex matched healthy control were enrolled in this study. Plasma amino...
متن کاملAmino Acid Catabolism in Alzheimer's Disease Brain: Friend or Foe?
There is a dire need to discover new targets for Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug development. Decreased neuronal glucose metabolism that occurs in AD brain could play a central role in disease progression. Little is known about the compensatory neuronal changes that occur to attempt to maintain energy homeostasis. In this review using the PubMed literature database, we summarize evidence that ami...
متن کاملMagnesium and Alzheimers Disease: The Cholinergic Hypothesis
The cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains the cornerstone for the understanding of chemical signal transfer. Hypofunctions of cholinergic systems are significantly involved in the signs and symptoms of senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. Cognitive deficits in AD have been widely associated with dysfunction of the cholinergic system. As a diagnostic marker of AD the activity...
متن کاملAmino acid tissue levels and GABAA receptor binding in the developing rat cerebellum following status epilepticus.
Incidence of status epilepticus (SE) is higher in children than in adults and SE can be induced in developing rats. The cerebellum can be affected after SE; however, consequences of cerebellar amino acid transmission have been poorly studied. The goal of this study was to determine amino acid tissue concentration and GABA(A) receptor binding in the immature rat cerebellum after an episode of SE...
