The Consequences of adolescent chronic unpredictable stress exposure on brain and behavior

There is increasing evidence for adolescence as a time period vulnerable to environmental perturbations such as stress. What is unclear is the persistent nature of the effects of stress and how specific these effects are to the type of stressor. In this re ...

Hijacking the Neuronal NMDAR Signaling Circuit to Promote Tumor Growth and Invasion

Douglas Hanahan, Leanne Li

Glutamate and its receptor N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) have been associated with cancer, although their functions are not fully understood. Herein, we implicate glutamate-driven NMDAR signaling in a mouse model of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumori ...

Role of the Glyoxalase System in Astrocyte-Mediated Neuroprotection

Pierre Magistretti, Thierry Laroche, Igor Allaman, Jiangyan Yang

The glyoxalase system is the most important pathway for the detoxification of methylglyoxal (MG), a highly reactive dicarbonyl compound mainly formed as a by-product of glycolysis. MG is a major precursor of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which ar ...

Feasibility of in vivo N-15 MRS detection of hyperpolarized N-15 labeled choline in rats

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Sami Jannin, Ruud van Heeswijk

The increase of total choline in tumors has become an important biomarker in cancer diagnosis. Choline and choline metabolites can be measured in vivo and in vitro using multinuclear MRS. Recent in vivo C-13 MRS studies using labeled substrates enhanced vi ...

Caffeine consumption attenuates neurochemical modifications in the hippocampus of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte

Type 1 diabetes can affect hippocampal function triggering cognitive impairment through unknown mechanisms. Caffeine consumption prevents hippocampal degeneration and memory dysfunction upon different insults and is also known to affect peripheral glucose ...
