There is substantial evidence that the use of glucocorticoids in neonates is associated with
an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. However, it remains unclear how …

In kainate-induced neurotoxicity, the stimulation of kainate receptors results in the activation
of phospholipase A2 and a rapid release of arachidonic acid from neural membrane …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder with a complex
physiopathology whose initiators are poorly defined. Accumulating clinical and experimental …

Background and Purpose—Ischemia is accompanied by abundant corticosterone secretion,
which could potentially exacerbate brain damage via activation of glucocorticoid receptors …

Kainate, the analog of the excitatory amino acid l-glutamate, upon binding to non-NMDA
glutamate receptors, causes depolarization of neurons followed by severe status epilepticus …

This review is aimed to highlight the importance of stress and glucocorticoids (GCs) in
modulating the inflammatory response of brain microglia and hence its potential involvement …

We have previously shown that the two types of adrenal steroid receptors, mineralocorticoid
(MR) and glucocorticoid (GR) produce opposite effects on long-term potentiation (LTP) in the …

The mechanism of the abnormal increase in extracellular glutamate concentration in the
hippocampus induced with 100mM KCl in zinc deficiency is unknown. In the present study …

Corticosterone, a steroid secreted during stress, increases hippocampal neuronal
vulnerability to excitotoxins, hypoxia‐ischemia, and antimetabolites. Energy …

Abnormal behavior in zinc deficiency and its cause are poorly understood. In the present
paper, behavior in the forced swim test and neurochemical changes in the brain associated …
