Schizophrenia and Apolipoprotein E Gene Polymorphism in Serbian Population
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2010)
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene variants are associated with alterations in brain function and increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and conflicting results have been reported in schizophrenia. Our results showed no ...
Orchidectomy affects the innervation of the rat thymus
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 1999)
To assess a putative role of the neural pathways in transfer of information from the gonads to the thymus, adult AO rats were orchidectomized (ORX) or sham ORX (controls); sacrificed 1, 3, 7, or 15 days later and their ...
Immune responses in nucleus basalis magnocellularis-lesioned rats exposed to chronic isolation stress
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2000)
The present study was designed to establish the influence of chronic social isolation stress on humoral and cellular immunity in nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM)-lesioned rats. Therefore, ten days after bilateral ...
Alterations in the thymopoiesis in experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2005)
Experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) was induced in female AO rats, by a single immunization with Torpedo acetylcholine receptor (AChR). Animals injected with saline served as controls. The study showed substantial ...
Changes in thymopoiesis in myasthenia gravis
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2005)
This study was undertaken to investigate T-cell maturation ill hyperplastic thymi of patients suffering from myasthenia gravis (MG). For this purpose, the expression of the major differentiational molecules (CD4, CD8, and ...
Polymorphisms of the Prion Protein Gene (PRNP) in a Serbian Population
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2010)
Prion diseases are a group of etiologically heterogenous neurodegenerative disorders. We have analyzed the coding region of PRNP gene in 121 healthy citizens of Serbia to determine whether the frequencies of M129V, E219K, ...
Role of inactivated influenza vaccine in regulation of autoimmune processes in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2014)
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is characterized by appearance of anti-myelin autoantibodies in the blood and with the increased expression of MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class I and II antigens ...
HD phenocopies - Possible role of saitohin gene
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2008)
Saitohin (STH) is located in the intron of the human gene for microtubule-associated protein tau. Q7R polymorphism has been identified in the STH gene. Some neurodegenerative disorders were found to be associated with the ...
Magnetic stimulation of the brain increase Na+, K+-atpase activity decreased by injection of alcl(3) into nucleus basalis magnocellularis of rats
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2006)
This article reports here on the influence of the static magnetic fields ( MFs), locally applied to the brain area, on Na, K-ATPase activity in the rat with lesioned nucleus basalis magnocellularis ( NBM) by intracerebral ...
Importance of immunological and inflammatory processes in the pathogenesis and therapy of Alzheimer's disease
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 1998)
The contribution of autoimmune processes or inflammatory components in the etiology and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been suspected for many years. The presence of antigen-presenting, HLA-DR-positive and ...
