Central administered xenin induced Fos expression in nesfatin-1 neurons in rats
Brain Res Bull. 2023 Oct 14;204:110788. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2023.110788. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTXenin is a 25-amino acid peptide identified in human gastric mucosa, which is widely expressed in peripheral and central tissues. It is known that the central or peripheral administration of xenin decreases food intake in rodents. Nesfatin-1/NUCB2 (nesfatin-1) has been identified as an anorexic neuropeptide, it is often found co-localized with many peptides in the central nervous system. After the intracerebroventricular administration of xenin on nesfain-1-like immunoreactivity (LI) neurons, we examined its effec...

Possible mechanisms involved in the neuroprotective effects of chrysin against mild traumatic brain injury-induced spatial cognitive decline: An in vivo study in a rat model
Brain Res Bull. 2023 Oct 10:110779. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2023.110779. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is recognized as an important risk factor for cognitive deficits. The present study was designed to determine the potential neuroprotective effects of chrysin, a natural flavonoid compound, against TBI-induced spatial cognitive decline and the possible mechanisms involved. Oral administration of chrysin (25, 50, or 100mg/kg/day) was initiated in rats immediately following the induction of the diffuse TBI model using the weight-dropping Marmarou model. Spatial cognitive ability, hippocampal...

Enriched environment attenuates ferroptosis after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by regulating iron metabolism
This study aims to explore the potential molecular mechanisms by which EE modulates iron metabolism to reduce ferroptosis. The experimental animals were randomly divided into four groups based on the housing environment and the procedure the animals received: the sham-operated + standard environment (SSE) group, the sham-operated + enriched environment (SEE) group, the ischemia/reperfusion + standard environment (ISE) group, and the ischemia/reperfusion + enriched environment (IEE) group. The results showed that EE reduced IL-6 expression during cerebral I/R injury, hence reducing JAK2-STAT3 pathway activation and hepcidin...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with an impairment of cognition and memory. Current research on connectomics have now related changes in the network organization in AD to the patterns of accumulation and spread of amyloid and tau, providing insights into the neurobiological mechanisms of the disease. In addition, network analysis and modeling focus on particular use of graphs to provide intuition into key organizational principles of brain structure, that stipulate how neural ac...

Plasma A β level alterations after sleep deprivation correspond to brain structural remodeling in medical night shift workers
Brain Res Bull. 2023 Oct 5;203:110776. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2023.110776. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe relationship between brain structure alteration and metabolic product clearance after night shift work with total sleep deprivation (SD) remains unclear. Twenty-two intensive care unit staff on regularly rotating shift work were implemented with structural and diffusion MRI under both rest wakefulness (RW) and SD conditions. Peripheral blood samples were collected for the measurement of cerebral metabolites. Voxel-based morphometry and diffusion tensor imaging analysis were used to investigate the alterations i...
