Disruption of zinc homeostasis and the pathogenesis of senile dementia
TL;DR: Zn acts as a contributor to Alzheimer's disease in the oligomerization, and as a protector in the neurotoxicity of Alzheimer's β-amyloid protein, and the possible role of carnosine (β-alanyl histidine) as a protective substance for neuronal injury is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc Neurotoxicity and its Role in Neurodegenerative Diseases
TL;DR: The sensitive assay system for zinc neurotoxicity in vitro using GT1-7 cells (immortalized hypothalamic neurons) to elucidate the functions of zinc in neurodegenerative diseases and provides a good method for screening the protective substances of zinc neurot toxicity as a therapeutic target of the global ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aluminum and Human Health : Its Intake Bioavailability and Neurotoxicity
TL;DR: The detailed characteristics of aluminum neurotoxicity and bioavailability based on the recent literatures are reviewed, and its biological fate and effects to human health are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protective substances against zinc-induced neuronal death after ischemia: carnosine as a target for drug of vascular type of dementia.
TL;DR: From the perspective of protective substances of zinc-induced neuronal death as a drug of vascular type of dementia based on studies and other numerous studies, carnosine (beta-alanyl histidine) protected against zinc- induced death of cultured neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
