Animal models of gastrointestinal problems in Parkinson's disease.
Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are being increasingly recognized as early, common, and severe features of Parkinson's disease (PD), and they are important determinants of quality of life and disability throughout the disease course. In addition, the concept that GI symptoms could represent "pre-motor" PD has been hotly debated and has recently become a driving force for investigations into the ...
متن کاملAnimal models of gastrointestinal and liver diseases. Animal models of cystic fibrosis: gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and hepatobiliary disease and pathophysiology.
Multiple organ systems, including the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and hepatobiliary systems, are affected by cystic fibrosis (CF). Many of these changes begin early in life and are difficult to study in young CF patients. Recent development of novel CF animal models has expanded opportunities in the field to better understand CF pathogenesis and evaluate traditional and innovative therape...
متن کاملPathogenesis of Epilepsy: Challenges in Animal Models
Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic disorders affecting individuals of all ages. A greater understanding of pathogenesis in epilepsy will likely provide the basis fundamental for development of new antiepileptic therapies that aim to prevent the epileptogenesis process or modify the progression of epilepsy in addition to treatment of epilepsy symptomatically. Therefore, severa...
متن کاملRole of Exercise and Gdnf in an Animal Model of Parkinsons Disease: Implications for Neuroprotection
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder resulting in part from loss of nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) neurons. Treatments act only to relieve symptoms. It is therefore essential to develop treatments that slow or reverse the neurodegenerative process. Here, I explored exercise as a potential treatment against a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat model. 6-OHDA causes select...
متن کاملAnimal Models of Disease
Charles River’s Disease Models program supports these efforts by making rodent models available for the study of cardiovascular, metabolic and renal diseases and their related complications. Additionally, through our Discovery and Imaging Services and Preclinical Services groups we have extensive experience using multiple models and species within these therapeutic areas. GK (Goto-Kakizaki) Rat...
