Does Seipin Play a Role in Oxidative Stress Protection and Peroxisome Biogenesis? New Insights from Human Brain Autopsies
(Elsevier, 2019)Seipin is a widely expressed protein but with highest levels found in the brain and testes. Seipin function is not yet completely understood, therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of BSCL2 transcripts ... -

A Novel NMDA Receptor Antagonist Protects against Cognitive Decline Presented by Senescent Mice
(MDPI, 2020)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia. Non-competitive N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist memantine improved cognition and molecular alterations after preclinical treatment. Nevertheless, ... -
Renin angiotensin system and gender differences in dopaminergic degeneration
(BMC, 2011)Background: There are sex differences in dopaminergic degeneration. Men are approximately two times as likely as premenopausal women of the same age to develop Parkinson’s disease (PD). It has been shown that the local renin ...
