An attachment of protamines to cerebral tissues, studied in relation to gangliosides, suramin and tissue excitability.

Gangliosides and related substances of isolated cerebral tissues examined in relation to tissue excitability.

The distribution of gangliosides in subcellular fractions of guinea-pig cerebral cortex.

Gangliosides are acidic, acid-sensitive, nondialysable, water-soluble lipids containing Nacetylneuraminic acid, hexosamine, hexoses and ceramides which in the brain occur mainly in grey matter. The aim of the present investigation was to study the localization of gangliosides in the cerebral cortex by following their distribution in subcellular fractions, neuraminic acid content being used as m...

Effect of ellagic acid on thiol levels in different brain tissue in an animal model of Parkinson's disease

Background & Aim: Parkinson's disease (PD) can be created with loss of dopaminergic substantial nigra neurons which is widely associated with oxidative stress and reduced glutathione (GSH), as the most important and abundant thiol in tissues and one of the antioxidant defense, is one of the earliest biochemical events related to Parkinson's and consumption of antioxidants has a protective effec...

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and encephalomalacia in a budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus)

Encephalomalacia is softening or loss of brain tissue following cerebral infarction; cerebral ischemia infection, craniocerebral trauma or other injuries. Cholangiocarcinomas are malignant neoplasms of biliary epithelium, which usually arise from the intrahepatic ducts. A budgerigar was presented with a history of ataxia, decreased activity, neck weakness and weight loss. Supportive care was at...
