Metabolic Dysfunction and Oxidative Stress in Epilepsy.

TL;DR: The evidence that metabolic and redox disruption is both cause and consequence of epileptic seizures is focused on and the promise of targeting redox processes as a therapeutic option in epilepsy is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond symptomatic relief for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy: Targeting the source.

TL;DR: The potential to prevent or reverse CIPN by protecting mitochondria and/or inhibiting nitro‐oxidative stress with novel potential drugs, including the mitochondrial protectant pifithrin‐μ, histone deacetylase 6 inhibitors, metformin, antioxidants, peroxynitrite decomposition catalysts, and anti‐inflammatory mediators including interleukin 10 are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aging and the Epidemiology of Epilepsy.

TL;DR: As the world population is steadily growing with parallel increase in the number of aged subjects, in the future, epilepsy will represent a huge burden for the society and measures must be taken to prevent seizures and epilepsy through the reduction of preventable epileptogenic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative sodium MR imaging: A review of its evolving role in medicine.

TL;DR: The vital roles of sodium ion in membrane transport and the extracellular matrix will be reviewed to indicate the broad opportunities that now exist for clinical sodium MR imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcineurin signaling in the heart: The importance of time and place

TL;DR: The wide range of calcineurin substrates relevant to cardiovascular health and the mechanisms calcineURin uses to find and act on appropriate substrates in the appropriate location while potentially avoiding others are discussed.

The mechanism of alloxan and streptozotocin action in B cells of the rat pancreas.

TL;DR: The cytotoxic action of both these diabetogenic agents is mediated by reactive oxygen species, however, the source of their generation is different in the case of alloxan and streptozotocin.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of some cations on an adenosine triphosphatase from peripheral nerves.

TL;DR: Leg nerves from the shore crab contain an adenosine triphosphatase which is located in the submicroscopic particles, and the influence of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium ions on this enzyme has been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of some cations on an adenosine triphosphatase from peripheral nerves.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the influence of different cations on the activity of an adenosine triphosphatase (ATP) enzyme in the leg nerves of crabs.
