Iron and brain disorders.
Iron is the most important element in the body, essential for almost all types of cells, including brain cells. The role of iron in the brain has been known for years. Iron deficiency and iron excess have been associated with pathophysiology of different brain disorders. Iron deficiency has been reported to have a role in brain development and the pathophysiology of restless legs syndrome. Iron...
متن کاملThe Blood-Brain Barrier in Health and Chronic Neurodegenerative Disorders
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly specialized brain endothelial structure of the fully differentiated neurovascular system. In concert with pericytes, astrocytes, and microglia, the BBB separates components of the circulating blood from neurons. Moreover, the BBB maintains the chemical composition of the neuronal "milieu," which is required for proper functioning of neuronal circuits, s...
متن کاملMolecular biology of brain aging and neurodegenerative disorders.
A significant component of the aging process is genetically determined. Numerous theories of aging exist, many of which postulate the existence of "longevity genes." Recent advances in molecular biological and other techniques have allowed a significantly greater understanding of aging and age-related disease. This will be illustrated by four genetic and sporadic diseases: Alzheimer's disease (...
متن کاملGene-diet interactions in brain aging and neurodegenerative disorders.
While there are many examples of people who live for 100 years or more with little evidence of a decline in brain function, many others are not so fortunate and experience a neurodegenerative disorder, such as Alzheimer disease or Parkinson disease. Although an increasing number of genetic factors that may affect the risk for neurodegenerative disorders are being identified, emerging findings s...
