(2003-12-01)Aoun, Paul Neuroprotective effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-y) ligands against oxidative stress. Doctor of Philosophy (Pharmacology and Neurosciences), December, 2003, 254 pp., 37 figures. ... -
Neuroprotective properties of Phytoestrogens
(2012-12-01)Women make up nearly two thirds of total Alzheimer’s cases in the United States. It has been speculated that the loss of endogenous estradiol during menopause is, at least in part, what renders the post-menopausal brain ... -
NEUROPROTECTIVE PROPERTIES OF SIGMA-1 RECEPTOR IN GLAUCOMA
(2014-05-01)Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy commonly associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) that affects over 70 million individuals worldwide. Glaucoma pathology is manifested as cupping of the optic disk, damage to the ... -
Next-Generation Sequencing of Culture Negative Bronchoalveolar Lavage Reveals the Presence of Potentially Pathogenic Microorganisms
(2015-08-01)Patients undergoing mechanical ventilation are at increased risk for developing nosocomial pneumonia. Traditionally, the diagnosis of pneumonia has relied on the identification of an etiologic agent by the hospital pathology ... -

Novel androgen receptor splice variant in the substantia nigra
(2017-08-01)Testosterone can increase calcium influx and cell death in dopamine neurons via a putative membrane androgen receptor (mAR). The mAR induced calcium increase may be due to activation of G-proteins involved in calcium ... -
