1. Phenylalanine and Tyrosine Metabolism Analysis in Heterozygotes for Phenylketonuria and in Healthy Individuals
Abstract Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited metabolic disorder derived from a deficiency in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, which converts the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe) into tyrosine (Tyr). Here we aimed to examine the metabolism of Phe and Tyr in heterozygotes for PKU during fasting and after oral overload of Phe (25 mg/kg). Plasma concentrati

2. Protective effect of luteolin on the transgenic Drosophila model of Parkinson’s disease
In the present study we have studied the effect of 25, 50, 75 and 100 µM of luteolin on the transgenic Drosophila expressing human alpha synuclein. The doses of luteolin were established in diet and the PD flies were allowed to feed on it for 24 days. After 24 days of exposure the flies were assayed for climbing assay, oxidative stress markers, caspase-3 &

3. Neuroprotective changes in degeneration-related gene expression in the substantia nigra following acupuncture in an MPTP mouse model of Parkinsonism: Microarray analysis
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the death of dopamine-generating cells in the substantia nigra (SN). Acupuncture stimulation results in an enhanced survival of dopaminergic neurons in the SN in Parkinsonism animal models. The present study investigated changes in gene expression profiles measured using whole transc

4. Effects of sciatic nerve transection on ultrastructure, NADPH-diaphorase reaction and serotonin-, tyrosine hydroxylase-, c-Fos-, glucose transporter 1- and 3-like immunoreactivities in frog dorsal root ganglion
Frogs have been used as an alternative model to study pain mechanisms. Since we did not find any reports on the effects of sciatic nerve transection (SNT) on the ultrastructure and pattern of metabolic substances in frog dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells, in the present study, 18 adult male frogs (Rana catesbeiana) were divided into three experimental groups:

5. Dmp53, basket and drICE gene knockdown and polyphenol gallic acid increase life span and locomotor activity in a Drosophila Parkinson's disease model
Understanding the mechanism(s) by which dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons are eroded in Parkinson's disease (PD) is critical for effective therapeutic strategies. By using the binary tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-Gal4/UAS-X RNAi Drosophila melanogaster system, we report that Dmp53, basket and drICE gene knockdown in dopaminergic neurons prolong life span (p < 0.05;

6. Hypoxic-ischemic injury decreases anxiety-like behavior in rats when associated with loss of tyrosine-hydroxylase immunoreactive neurons of the substantia nigra
Neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control, mild hypoxia-ischemia (HI), and severe HI groups (N = 10 in each group at each time) on postnatal day 7 (P7) to study the effect of mild and severe HI on anxiety-like behavior and the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in the substantia nigra (SN). The mild and severe HI groups were

7. Genetic diversity of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine b-hydroxylase (DBH) genes in cattle breeds
DNA from four cattle breeds was used to re-sequence all of the exons and 56% of the introns of the bovine tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene and 97% and 13% of the bovine dopamine b-hydroxylase (DBH) coding and non-coding sequences, respectively. Two novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a microsatellite motif were found in the TH sequences. The DBH s

8. Treadmill training in diabetic rats: effects on motor and sensitive behavior, tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity in the substantia nigra, calcitonin gene-related peptide in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord and sural nerve morphology / Treinamento em esteira em ratos diabéticos : efeitos sobre o comportamento motor e sensorial, imunomarcação de tirosina hidroxilase na substância nigra, peptídeo relacionado ao gene da calcitonina no corno dorsal da medula espinal e morfologia do nervo sural
O objetivo desta tese foi analisar os efeitos do exercício físico sobre o comportamento motor, a expressão de tirosina hidroxilase na subtsância nigra, a sensibilidade mecânica e nociceptiva, a morfologia do nervo sural e a expressão de peptídeo relacionado ao gene da calcitonina no corno dorsal da medula espinal de ratos adultos machos e diabéticos

9. Histomorphometric and sympathetic innervation of the human internal thoracic artery
INTRODUCTION: Internal thoracic artery (ITA) is an established arterial graft for the coronary artery by-pass surgery. Special micro-anatomical features of the ITA wall may protect it from age related pathological changes. One of the complications seen after coronary artery bypass grafting is vasospasm. Sympathetic nerves may be involved in vasospasm. OBJECT

10. Lesion of the subthalamic nucleus reverses motor deficits but not death of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in a rat 6-hydroxydopamine-lesion model of Parkinson's disease
The objective of the present study was to determine whether lesion of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) promoted by N-methyl- D-aspartate (NMDA) would rescue nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons after unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) injection into the medial forebrain bundle (MFB). Initially, 16 μg 6-OHDA (6-OHDA group) or vehicle (artificial cerebrospinal

11. Neonatal handling and the expression of immunoreactivity to tyrosine hydroxylase in the hypothalamus of adult male rats
Neonatal handling has long-lasting effects on behavior and stress reactivity. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of neonatal handling on the number of dopaminergic neurons in the hypothalamic nuclei of adult male rats as part of a series of studies that could explain the long-lasting effects of neonatal stimulation. Two groups of

12. Caracterização histoquímica e imunoistoquímica de áreas telencefálicas da coruja-da-igreja (Tyto alba) / Histochemical and immunohistochemical characterization of forebrain areas in the barn owl (Tyto alba)
Owls possess exceptional visual and auditory capacities. There is only limited information about the neuroanatomy of their forebrain. Thus, we characterized by histo/immunohistochemical techniques the forebrain of the barn owl. The basal ganglia were delineated by their intense immunostaining for DARPP-32 and tyrosine hydroxylase.
