Ten affected individuals are described from a kindred with autosomal dominant familial Alzheimer's disease in which a mutation in the amyloid precursor protein gene results in a valine to glycine substitution at amyloid precursor protein 717 which co-segregates with the disease. The mean age at
Hyperhomocyst(e)inemia has been identified as an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic and thromboembolic diseases such as coronary artery disease, cerebral artery disease, and venous thrombosis. Recently, the alanine/valine (A/V) gene polymorphism of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase
The patient had suffered from left hemiparesis at the age of thirteen months, and acute ischemic stroke of unknown etiology had been diagnosed at that time. His hemiparesis gradually disappeared and he was discharged two weeks after the onset without disability. At the age of 17 years, MRI following
Valsartan ((S)-N-valeryl-N-¿[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl¿ valine, CAS 137862-53-4, CGP 48933), a non-peptide angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist, or enalapril was administered to spontaneously hypertensive rats stroke-prone (SHR-SP) for 1 year from 8 weeks to 56 weeks of age
BACKGROUND
Recent evidence from an animal model of stroke, the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat, implicated the gene encoding atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) as a possible candidate contributing to the likelihood of experiencing a stroke. The purpose of the present study was to
Many stroke survivors suffer from poststroke fatigue (PSF) and poststroke depression (PSD), indicating the importance of increasing the base of knowledge about the mechanisms underlying these sequelae. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether activation of the kynurenine (KYN) pathway
OBJECTIVE
There is limited information about changes in metabolism during acute ischemic stroke. The identification of changes in circulating plasma metabolites during cerebral infarction may provide insight into disease pathogenesis and identify novel biomarkers.
METHODS
We performed filament
Stroke is the main cause of motoric and neuropsychological disability in adults. Recent advances in research into the role of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor in neuroplasticity, neuroprotection and neurogenesis might provide important information for the development of new
Identifying changes in serum metabolites during cerebral ischemia is an important approach for early diagnosis of thrombotic stroke. Herein, we highlight novel biomarkers for early diagnosis of patients at high risk of thrombotic stroke using high resolution metabolomics (HRM). In this retrospective
Ischemic stroke (IS) is a major contributor to the global disease burden, and effective biomarkers for IS management in clinical practice are urgently needed. Metabolomics can detect metabolites that are small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier in a high-throughput manner, and Objective: The relationship between white matter integrity and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) genotype and its effects on motor recovery after stroke are poorly understood. We investigated the values of fractional
BACKGROUND
After ischemic stroke, many factors influence the restitution of functions. In particular they include the patient age, the initial stroke severity and the presence of cognitive and neuropsychological deficits. In this study we investigated whether a polymorphism in the gene encoding for
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been shown to be necessary and sufficient for post-stroke recovery in rodents. From these observations, we and others have hypothesized that a common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the pro-domain of bdnf that leads to a methionine (Met)
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder secondary to a point mutation at the sixth position of the beta chain of human hemoglobin resulting in the replacement of valine for glutamic acid. This recessive genetic abnormality precipitates the polymerization of the deoxygenated form of
Acute neurodegeneration in man is encountered during and following stroke, transient cardiac arrest, brain trauma, insulin-induced hypoglycemia and status epilepticus. All these severe clinical conditions are characterized by neuronal calcium overload, aberrant cell signaling, generation of free
