d-Methionine protects against cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity in cortical networks.
Cisplatin is a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent widely used for the treatment of various types of cancer. Patients undergoing cisplatin treatment often suffer from a condition known as "chemobrain", ototoxicity, peripheral neuropathy, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, nephrotoxicity, seizures, hearing loss and tinnitus. d-Methionine (d-Met), a sulfur-containing nucleophilic antioxidant, has b...
متن کاملGlutamate receptor antagonism: neurotoxicity, anti-akinetic effects, and psychosis.
There is evidence to suggest that glutamate and other excitatory amino acids play an important role in the regulation of neuronal excitation. Glutamate receptor stimulation leads to a non-physiological increase of intracellular free Ca2+. Disturbed Ca2+ homeostasis and subsequent radical formation may be decisive factors in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Decreased glutamatergic...
متن کاملExercise protects against methamphetamine-induced aberrant neurogenesis
While no effective therapy is available for the treatment of methamphetamine (METH)-induced neurotoxicity, aerobic exercise is being proposed to improve depressive symptoms and substance abuse outcomes. The present study focuses on the effect of exercise on METH-induced aberrant neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus in the context of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) pathology. Mice were ad...
متن کاملMystixin-7 Peptide Protects Ionotropic Glutamatergic Mechanisms against Glutamate-Induced Excitotoxicity In Vitro
Hyperactivation of the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) causes glutamate excitotoxicity, a process potentially important for many neurological diseases. This study aims to investigate protective effects of the synthetic corticotrophin-releasing factor-like peptide, mystixin-7 (MTX), on model glutamate-induced excitotoxicity in vitro. The technique online monitoring of ...
متن کاملA Nucleotide-Based Drug Protects against Glutamate- and MPP-Induced Neurotoxicity
Nucleo CMP Forte is a nucleotide-based drug consisting of cytidinemonophosphate, uridinemonophosphate, uridinediphosphate and uridinetriphosphate. It has been prescribed for peripheral nervous system disorders, such as lumbosciatalgia, diabetic or alcoholic polyneuropathy, or trigeminal neuralgia. Its effects on brain pathologies has received little attention. We examined its neuroprotective ef...
