Rotenone,a common pesticide and inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I,induces loss of dopaminergic neurons and consequential aspects of Parkinsons disease (PD).However,the exact mechanism of rotenone n
Parkinsons disease(PD)is a common neurodegenerative movement disorder affecting an increasing number of elderly.Various studies have shown that mitochondrial dysfunction and abnormal protein aggregati
OBJECTIVE:The crosstalk between mTORC1/S6K1 signaling and AMPK is emerging as a powerful andhighly regulated way to gauge cellular energy and nutrient content.The aim of the current study was toelucid
The loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta contributes the characteristic motor symptoms of Parkinsons disease (PD):bradykinesia,rigidity and resting tremors.Although dopam
Striatal dopamine (DA) release can be independently triggered by two pathways,the midbrain nigrostriatal ascending pathway and the cholinergic transmission-induced dopaminergic transmission (CTDT) pat
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as two important epigenetic factors that regulate vascular physiology,but there is a lack of information linking them to vascular disor
Dopamine (DA) homeostasis is essential for a variety of brain activities.Dopamine transporter (DAT)-mediated DA reuptake is one of the most critical mechanisms for the control of normal DA homeostasis
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important human health problem.Various causes of CKD may deteriorate into end stage renal disease,namely renal failure.In China,the main cause of CKD is glomerulonep
