Inhibitory effects of L-threo-DOPS, an L-noradrenaline precursor, on locus coeruleus-originating neurons in the caudate nucleus.
Electrophysiological studies using reserpine-treated cats were carried out to elucidate the effects of L-threo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine (L-threo-DOPS) on the noradrenergic pathway from the locus coeruleus (LC) to the caudate nucleus (CN) neurons, which were activated by iontophoretically applied bromocriptine, a dopamine D-2 receptor agonist. In the CN neurons, glutamate-induced firing was inh...
متن کاملThe ACAT Inhibitor CP-113,818 Markedly Reduces Amyloid Pathology in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
Amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) accumulation in specific brain regions is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have previously reported that a well-characterized acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor, CP-113,818, inhibits Abeta production in cell-based experiments. Here, we assessed the efficacy of CP-113,818 in reducing AD-like pathology in the brains of...
متن کاملCholinergic neuropathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Transgenic mice over-expressing mutant human amyloid precursor protein (PDAPP mouse) develop several Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-like lesions including an age-related accumulation of amyloid-?-containing neuritic plaques. Although aged, heterozygous PDAPP mice also exhibit synaptic and glial cell changes, that is characteristic of AD pathology, no evidence of neurodegeneration has been observed. T...

متن کاملImmunomodulation Targeting Abnormal Protein Conformation Reduces Pathology in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
Many neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the conformational change of normal self-proteins into amyloidogenic, pathological conformers, which share structural properties such as high β-sheet content and resistance to degradation. The most common is Alzheimer's disease (AD) where the normal soluble amyloid β (sAβ) peptide is converted into highly toxic oligomeric Aβ and fibrillar Aβ ...
