This chapter discusses that the brain is a cholesterol-rich organ, and increasing evidence suggests that cholesterol plays a number of key roles in the central nervous system (CNS) through regulation of membrane functions and by other mechanisms. Cholesterol metabolism in the brain makes special is...
The brain is a dynamic and plastic organ whose complex activity is accompanied by an enormous consumption of energy. This wide energy demand is necessary to maintain processes such as transmembrane potential preservation and action potential generation, fundamental for neuronal signaling, the main task ...
Sex hormones and genes on the sex chromosomes are not only key factors in the regulation of sexual differentiation and reproduction but they are also deeply involved in brain homeostasis. Their action is crucial for the development of the brain, which pr
Since brain hemorrhages can be disabling or life-threatening, it’s crucial to get medical help fast if you think you or someone else is having one. What Happens During a Brain Hemorrhage? Your brain isn't a muscle. It's a complex organ that contains a finely tuned network of both nerve...
The brain is a lipid-rich organ containing mostly complex polar phospholipids, sphingolipids, gangliosides and cholesterol. These lipids are involved in th... Sinclair,J Andrew,Begg,... - 《Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition》 被引量: 211发表: 2007年 Omega-3 Fatty Acid Deficiency duri...
Physical examination is very helpful in trying to localize a potential brain lesion. A careful neurologic exam may be useful in finding weakness, changes in sensation (including light touch, pain, vibration, and position sense), and coordination. Mental status, agility, and other organ systems are...
The brain is the most cholesterol-rich organ, which contains approximate 20 % of the total cholesterol in the body. Cholesterol is an essential structural component of myelin, synapse and dendrite formation, which affects vesicle trafficking, intracellular signal transduction, and cellular neurotransmissio...
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) as a transmembrane glycoprotein can mediate the uptake of cholesterol-rich low-density lipoprotein, including cholesterol, tocopherol, and Apos.180The family of LRP has a lot of members, such as LRP-1, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-...
In summary, our multimodal BAG GWASs provide evidence that the aging process of the human brain is a complex biological phenomenon intertwined with several organ systems and chronic diseases. We digitized the human brain from multimodal imaging and captured a complete genetic landscape of human brain...
It can be a technique to get centred when you’re thrown off by emotional stress. ? It can be a quick-fix stress reliever to help you reverse your body’s stress response and physically relax. Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity, or brain plasticity, is the ability of neural...
