The present study examines a new dopamine sensor based on Alumina nanoparticles modified carbon paste electrode (Al2O3NPsCPE). Moreover, the present study focuses on the electrochemical act of the Al2O3NPsCPE for the detection of dopamine by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). There is also a focus on the specification of the prepared modified electrode by electroc...

Introduction: Spreading depression (SD) is a propagating wave of depolarization followed by depression of the neuroglial activities and can modulate extracellular dopamine concentrations in the neocortex. It has been shown that the dopaminergic system plays a role in migraine. SD has been suggested as a critical phenomenon in the pathophysiology of migraine. The aim of this study was to investi...

the interaction of dopamine and cysteine for formation of 5-s-cysteinyldopamine are investigated at thehartree-fock level theory. the structural and vibrational properties of 5-s-cysteinyldopamine are studiedat level of hf/6-31g*.interaction energy ( ae) is calculated -771.6923 kcal/mol rotational energy andthermodynamic parameters around two bond have been determined using hf/3-21g. changes of...

the mesolimbic dopamine (da) system contains both d1-like and d2-like receptors, has been connected to control of locomotor behavior. an apparent role for d1 and d2 receptors throughout the mesolimbic system in the alteration of locomotor behavior has been demonstrated in pharmacological studies. the nucleus accumbens (nac) is comprised of a core and a shell subregion, which is a component of t...

the prefrontal cortex (pfc) plays a central role in processing both normal and pathological affective states and it is among the brain regions most closely associated with stress-related psychopathology in humans. the ventromedial pfc (vmpfc) in particular has been shown to be required for healthy emotional regulation, social function and risk assessment and decision-making. also this region ex...

the regulation of dopamine and serotonin synthesis in rat brain striatal synaptosomes has been studied using hplc methods. noradrenaline was shown to markedly inhibit both the synthesis of dopamine and serotonin. the response of the synaptosomes to the concentrations of noradrenaline appeared to be biphasic, a very effective inhibition occurring at low concentrations (1-5 µm) and a relatively i...

objectives the cause of rheumatoid arthritis (ra) as a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease is still unknown. it appears that both genetic and environmental factors play a role in its pathogenesis. recent studies reveal that in addition to the cns, immune cells synthesis neurotransmitters so that these catecholamines can regulate immune functions. the aim of this study is to evaluate the dop...

After Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease (PD) is considered the most common neurodegenerative disease. Its prevalence is the same in all area but it is common in males than females. From every 100 persons who are above 60 years old, one of them has PD. Also 5-10% of patients are less than 40 years old. This progressive neuroinflammation disease isn’t fatal. In 60% of cases is with depre...
