Protective Effects of Proline–Rich Peptide in a Rat Model of Alzheimer Disease: An Electrophysiological Study
Introduction: Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly that slowly destroys memory and cognitive functions. The disease has no cure and leads to significant structural and functional brain abnormalities. To facilitate the treatment of this disease, we aimed to investigate proline-rich peptide (PRP-1) action of hypothalamus on hippocampal (HP) neurons and dynamic...
متن کاملThe primary structures of six human salivary acidic proline-rich proteins (PRP-1, PRP-2, PRP-3, PRP-4, PIF-s and PIF-f).
Human glandular salivary secretions contain several acidic proline-rich phosphoproteins (PRPs). These proteins have important biological functions related to providing a protective environment for the teeth, and appear to possess other activities associated with modulation of adhesion of bacteria to oral surfaces. These functions and activities depend on the primary structures of the PRPs. Prev...
متن کاملModulation of proline-rich protein biosynthesis in rat parotid glands by sorghums with high tannin levels.
Feeding of sorghum with a high level of tannin (high-tannin sorghum) to rats caused changes in gene expression in parotid glands similar to isoproterenol treatment. Within 3 days the parotid glands were enlarged about 3-fold and a series of proline-rich proteins were increased about 12-fold. Unlike isoproterenol treatment, no changes were observed in the submandibular glands, and a Mr 220,000 g...
متن کاملTandem mass spectrometry for structural characterization of proline-rich proteins: application to salivary PRP-3.
Proline-rich proteins (PRPs), including collagens, complement 1q, and salivary PRPs, are unusually difficult to sequence by mass spectrometry, due to the high efficiency of cleavage at the amide bond on the N-terminal of proline residues and the consequently low relative abundance of fragment arising from cleavages at other amide bonds. To fully characterize these proteins by mass spectrometry,...
متن کاملPlatelet Rich Plasma ( PRP ) Therapy
Molloy, et. al., (2003) address specific growth factors encountered in ligament and tendon healing. After reading about the factors found in superficial wounds, above, these should appear familiar, including: Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)—produced shortly after tendon injury, stimulates production of other growth factors such as IGF-1, and is involved in the tissue remodeling phase of h...
