Arachidonic acid cascade and signal transduction.
Takao Shimizu,Leonhard S. Wolfe +1 more
TL;DR: Recent progress of research in this field is summarized with special attention directed to eicosanoid metabolism, functions of eICosanoids in the neuroendocrine system and synaptic transmission, current information on eicOsanoid receptors, and the link between eicOSanoids and cerebral circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eicosanoids: prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes, and other derivatives of carbon-20 unsaturated fatty acids.
TL;DR: Preventing synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes in the cNS is likely to have increasing importance in clinical neurology, particularly in cerebrovascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit c storage in the ceroid-lipofuscinoses (Batten disease).
David Palmer,Ian M. Fearnley,John E. Walker,Nicholas A. Hall,Brian D. Lake,Leonhard S. Wolfe,Matti Haltia,Ryan Dennis Martinus,Robert D. Jolly +8 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that ovine ceroid-lipofuscinosis is caused by a specific failure in the degradation of subunit c after its normal inclusion into mitochondria, and its consequent abnormal accumulation in lysosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progressive myoclonus epilepsies: specific causes and diagnosis.
TL;DR: A large number of patients with severe epilepsy are receiving anticonvulsant therapy, and the use of these drugs has changed the way that they are diagnosed and treated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kufs' disease: a critical reappraisal.
TL;DR: A review of 118 cases published as Kufs' disease revealed only 50 cases, including 2 patients described herein, that fulfilled our criteria for this diagnosis as discussed by the authors, and these cases comprised two clinical phenotypes; progressive myoclonus epilepsy (Type A) and dementia with motor disturbances (Type B). Marked photosensitivity was a striking feature of some Type A cases, and facial dyskinesias were common amongst Type B patients.
