Central Nervous System Neurotoxicity of Chronic Alcohol Abuse

P151: The Effects of Boswellia Serrate on Central Nervous System

In the process of neuronal inflammation, an increased in inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) from immune cells (leukocytes and macrophages), brain cells (microglia, astrocytes and neurons) and in hippocampus, amygdala occurs. Raise the level of cytokines result in reduced in production of molecules that are related to plasticity, especially BDNF, IGF-1 and VEGF. Microglia ...

ADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...

Effect of Ethanol on Central Nervous System

Ethanol is a neurotoxin and most commonly used as a drug, disinfectant and preservative. Ethanol is water and lipid soluble and is readily distributed into the cytoplasm and membranes of all cells in the body. The cytotoxic effects of ethanol are not entirely understood but certain possibilities are attributed. First, ethanol can exert cytotoxic effects through its lipid soluble properties and ...

P124: Listeriosis in Central Nervous System

Listeriosis is one of the CNS inflammatory diseases which is happened majority in the form of sporadic. Listeriosis is ingested with the food. Infection occurrence in an exposed person depends on the number of organisms ingested, the virulence of the organisms strain and the individual condition. It is known that Listeriosis has decisive importance as an infection which the cellular immunodefen...
