TitleDateViewsBrief Description
Aß42-mediated proteasome inhibition and associated tau pathology in hippocampus are governed by a lysosomal response involving cathepsin B: Evidence for protective crosstalk between protein clearance pathways 2017 409 Impaired protein clearance likely increases the risk of protein accumulation disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Protein degradation through the proteasome pathway decreases with age and in AD brains, and the Aß42 peptide has been shown to ...
Inhibitor of Endocannabinoid Deactivation Protects Against In Vitro and In Vivo Neurotoxic Effects of Paraoxon 2017 1403 The anticholinesterase paraoxon (Pxn) is related to military nerve agents that increase acetylcholine levels, trigger seizures, and cause excitotoxic damage in the brain. In rat hippocampal slice cultures, high-dose Pxn was applied resulting in a pre...
Paraoxon: An Anticholinesterase That Triggers an Excitotoxic Cascade of Oxidative Stress, Adhesion Responses, and Synaptic Compromise 2017 1028 The anticholinesterase paraoxon (Pxn) is an organophosphate (OP) and the active metabolite of the insecticide parathion. It potently inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and leads to enhanced glutamate release, diminished GABA uptake, oxidative d...
