Study Suggests Coenzyme Q10 Slows Functional Decline in Parkinson's Disease: National I... - 0 views

  •  
    high dose CoQ10 shown to slow disease progression in Parkinson's disease.  A similar study had shown the same finding in Huntington's disease.  Both are excitotoxic diseases

Antiinflammatory Effects of Estrogen on Microglial Activation - 0 views

  •  
    Estradiol (E2) shown to be neuroprotective in those with microglial excitotoxicity diseases, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.  this study looked at a rat model.  The effect was not through inhibition of NF-kappaB, but through MAP kinase.

  •  
    Brain glutamic acid originates from glutamine.  Glutamine should be avoided in those with excitotoxic diseases.

NeuroSignals 2005, Vol. 14, No. 1-2 - Neuroprotective Effects of Huperzine A - FullText... - 0 views

  •  
    Huperzine A is a great neuroprotector.  Huperzine A is a acetycholinesterase inhibitor. But, Huperzine A also reduces oxidative stress, reduces beta-Amyloid, protects mitochondria, antagonizes NMDA receptors and thus reduces excitotoxicity, and regulates apoptosis.

    Study highlights the interaction between the gut and the brain.  In this case, this article describes neuro-excitotoxicity as a result of celiac disease.  They call this syndrome gluten related disorders or GRD.   The point is not the name, but neuro-inflammation that results from the intact of gluten.

    Testosterone therapy aids symptoms of Parkinson's disease.  Whether low T is an associated finding or plays a role has yet to be determined.  However, we do know that androgens play an anti-inflammatory role in men and we know that inflammation plays a role in the neurodegenerative disease that is Parkinson's disease.

Gender and sex hormones in multiple sclerosis pathology and therapy - 0 views

  • It is now well recognized that the disease manifestation is reduced in pregnant women with relapsing-remitting MS
  • This occurs particularly during the third trimester when levels of estrogens (estradiol and estriol) and progesterone (see Table 2) are elevated up to about 20 times
  • This seems well correlated with a decrease in active white matter lesions detected by MRI
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • This clinical improvement is however followed by temporary rebound exacerbations at post-partum, when the hormone levels decline
  • a shift from Th1 to Th2 immune response, expansion of suppressive regulatory T lymphocytes and decrease in the number of circulating CD16+ natural killer (NK)-cells
  • Th1 lymphocytes secrete proinflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-2, IFNgamma, lymphotoxin) while Th2 cells secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-4, IL-5, IL-10), which favor humoral-mediated responses
  • Th2 cytokines are associated with down-regulation of Th1 cytokines and this Th2 shift is believed to provide protection from allograft rejection during pregnancy as well as from Th1-mediated autoimmune disease
  • it is worth noting that the levels of other hormones with anti-inflammatory activity (1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3, norepinephrine, cortisol) also increase by 2 to 4 times during late pregnancy
  • 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 induces regulatory T-cell function important for development of self-tolerance
  • breast-feeding does not alter the relapse rate in women with MS
  • Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone produced primarily by adipocytes but also by T lymphocytes and neurons
  • Several lines of evidence indicate that leptin contributes to EAE/MS pathogenesis, influencing its onset and clinical severity, by acting as a proinflammatory cytokine which promotes regulatory T cell (Treg) anergy and hyporesponsiveness, resulting in increased Th1 (TNFalpha, INFgamma) and reduced Th2 (IL-4) cytokine production
  • circulating leptin levels are increased in relapsing-remitting MS patients (men and women analyzed together) while the CD4+CD25+Treg population decreases
  • As the leptin plasma concentrations are proportional to the amount of fat tissue, obese/overweight individuals produce higher levels of leptin
  • Nielsen et al found that estradiol and progesterone exert neuroprotection against glutamate neurotoxicity, while MPA antagonizes the neuroprotective effect of estradiol and exacerbated neuron death induced by glutamate excitotoxicity
  •  
    very good review of the differences in MS and hormones between the sexes.

Regenerative potential for allopregnanolone - 0 views

  •  
    Progesterone and allopregnanolone shown to have neuroprotective and neurogenesis properties in the brain. BDNF was positively correlated with progesterone. So as women age, progesterone falls, as progesterone falls, then BDNF falls and neuroplasticity declines and thus we see neurodegenerative disorders. And hormones are not needed? Who are these scientists that don't read research?!
