Alz-50, ubiquitin and tau immunoreactivity of neurofibrillary tangles, Pick bodies and Lewy bodies.
Immunocytochemical and quantitative immunochemical techniques were used to study the expression of Alz-50 antigen, ubiquitin and Tau in neurologic disorders characterized by the formation of filamentous neuronal inclusions. Alz-50, anti-ubiquitin and Tau-1 immunostained the intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles and the neuritic component of plaques, both in Alzheimer's disease and in the brains...

Purpose: This study is designed to determine the sex differences in brain weight and volume of left hemisphere and its gray and white matters in right-handed normal subjects and the right-handed subjects which were suffered from Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 72 normal human brains (38 male, 34 female), 11 brains suffered from Alzheimer (4 ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Prenatal Exposure to Restraint Stress on Hippocampal Granule Neurons of Adult Rat Offspring
Objective(s) It is well known that prenatal stresses (PS) induce a variety of neurobiological and behavioral alterations, some of them involving the hippocampal formation. This study aimed to determine whether restraint stress influences the neuronal volume and number of granule cells in the hippocampus of adult rat offspring. Materials and Methods Ten Wistar pregnant rats were randomly divi...
متن کاملBeneficial effect of Boswellia serrata gum resin on spatial learning and the dendritic tree of dentate gyrus granule cells in aged rats
Objective: The hippocampal formation, particularly the dentate gyrus (DG), shows age-related morphological changes that could cause memory decline. It is indicated that Boswellia resins attenuates memory deficits and the major component of Boswellia serrata (Bs) gum resin, beta boswellic acid increased neurite outgrowth and branching in hippocampal neurons. This study was designed to investigat...
متن کاملClinical Neuropathology teaching case 4-2015: Heterogenous brain pathologies temporally and spatially coinciding in limbic regions
Co-occurrence of neurodegenerative proteinopathies is increasingly recognized to be a frequent event in the brains of symptomatic and asymptomatic elderly individuals [1]. Prion diseases are rapidly progressive neurodegenerative conditions, which may pose differential diagnostic challenges. Co-occurence of diverse pathologies in prion disease is rarely reported, although occasionally unusual co...
