he effects of vitamin B12 on the brain damages caused by methamphetamine in mice
Objective(s): Methamphetamine (METH) is a powerful stimulant drug that directly affects the brain and induces neurological deficits. B12 is a water-soluble vitamin (vit) that is reported to attenuate neuronal degeneration. The goal of the present study is to investigate the effect of vitamin B12 on METH’s neurodegenerative changes.Materials and Methods: Two groups of 6 animals received METH (10...
متن کاملBrain Damage Caused by Thiamin Deficiency – The Australian Experience
novel data, which together served to define and explicate an understanding of the alcoholic Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS) from the clinical and basic science perspectives. The symposium's five presentations covered neuropathology, epidemiology, neural and genetic mechanisms, neuropsychological and neuroradiological signs of Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) and Korsakoff's syndrome (KS), and t...
متن کاملDiabetes increases brain damage caused by severe hypoglycemia.
Insulin-induced severe hypoglycemia causes brain damage. The hypothesis to be tested was that diabetes portends to more extensive brain tissue damage following an episode of severe hypoglycemia. Nine-week-old male streptozotocin-diabetic (DIAB; n = 10) or vehicle-injected control (CONT; n = 7) Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to hyperinsulinemic (0.2 U.kg(-1).min(-1)) severe hypoglycemic (10-...
متن کاملIrreversible damage to auditory system functions caused by perinatal hypothyroidism in rats.
We examined the effect of perinatal hypothyroidism on auditory function in rats using a prepulse inhibition paradigm. Pregnant rats were treated with the antithyroid drug methimazole (1-methyl-2-mercaptoimidazole) from gestational day 15 to postnatal day 21 via drinking water at concentrations (w/v) of 0 (control), 0.002 (low dose), or 0.02% (high dose). Rats from methimazole-treated mothers we...
متن کاملEndoplasmic Reticulum Stress Mediates Methamphetamine-Induced Blood–Brain Barrier Damage
Methamphetamine (METH) abuse causes serious health problems worldwide, and long-term use of METH disrupts the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Herein, we explored the potential mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in METH-induced BBB endothelial cell damage in vitro and the therapeutic potential of endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitors for METH-induced BBB disruption in C57BL/6J mice. Exp...
