COX-2 in the neurodegenerative process of Parkinson's disease
نویسنده
چکیده
The enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), responsible for the first committed step in the synthesis of several important mediators which are involved in both initiation and resolution of inflammation, and the subsequent generation of prostaglandins (PGs) upon activation has been shown to participate in the neurodegenerative processes of a variety of diseases. This review looks particular at the role of COX-2 in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease, involving the generation of PGs and the role of the two different parts of the cyclooxygenase-cyclooxygenase and peroxidase activity.

Materials and Metabolites of Kynureinine Pathway in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Multiple Sclerosis
Abstract Background & aim: Kynurenine pathway (KP) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative disorders. In neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease (HD) and Multiple sclerosis (MS), brain neurons are initially involved and gradually disappear. In the present review article, the ...

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative neurodopaminergic disease in nigrostriatum pathway of animals and human, the resultant loss of nerve terminals accompanied by dopamine-glutamate and other related neurotransmitters-imbalances in this pathway are responsible for most of the movement abnormalities. Increasing evidence suggests that an inflammatory reaction accompanies the pat...

After Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease is the most common nerve-damaging disease. Parkinson's is a progressive and chronic disease where cells secrete dopamine-cut black flesh and in the absence of dopamine in the brain destroyed the irregular body movements. Man eats the food that causes the formation of the neurotransmitters. Tthree neurotransmitters: dopamine, serotonin, norepinephri...

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the ability to divide and differentiate into distinct cell types. The source of these cells is from embryos and adults, that each cell has its own specific characteristics. For nearly decades, experimental studies have been conducted to use these types of cells to treat various diseases. Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative d...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 is instrumental in Parkinson's disease neurodegeneration.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of uncertain pathogenesis characterized by the loss of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, which can be modeled by the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). Increased expression of cyclooxygenase type 2 (COX-2) and production of prostaglandin E(2) have been implicated in neurodegeneration in several pathologi...
