Book Neuroinflammation  Neurodegeneration and Metabolic Disease  From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Innovation

Download or read book Neuroinflammation Neurodegeneration and Metabolic Disease From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Innovation written by Fawaz Alzaid and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuroinflammation manifests as changes to cognition or behavior, or as altered function in peripheral tissues. Patients with metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes, obesity) are more likely to suffer with neuroinflammation since the disrupted metabolism and chronic low-grade inflammation that accompany metabolic diseases extends to the nervous system. Neuroinflammation will then lead to functional impairment and progressive loss of neuronal structure, with neurodegeneration being the end result. Factors like chronic hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance are candidate drivers of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. The effects on the nervous system also contribute to worsening insulin resistance and a further loss of metabolic function and homeostasis in innervated peripheral tissues (e.g., liver, adipose tissue). Persistent metabolic stress predisposes patients to peripheral neuropathies, cognitive dysfunction, and development of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease). Multiple associations link metabolic disease to neuropathology, targeting neuroinflammation to preserve neuronal integrity holds promise for managing metabolic diseases and associated neurological complications. Research on "Neuroinflammation, Neurodegeneration and Metabolic Disease: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Innovation" is necessary to address several critical gaps in our understanding and treatment of metabolic diseases and of neuropathology. Firstly, while the role of systemic inflammation in metabolic diseases has been extensively studied, the specific impact of nervous system inflammation – neuroinflammation – and resulting neurodegeneration on these conditions is still an emerging field. Investigating the mechanisms by which neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration contribute to metabolic diseases can provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis and progression of these conditions.

Book The Metabolic Inflammatory Axis in Brain Aging and Neurodegeneration

Download or read book The Metabolic Inflammatory Axis in Brain Aging and Neurodegeneration written by Fei Yin and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impairment of energy metabolism is a hallmark of brain aging and several neurodegenerative diseases, such as the Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Age- and disease-related hypometabolism is commonly associated with oxidative stress and they are both regarded as major contributors to the decline in synaptic plasticity and cognition. Neuroinflammatory changes, entailing microglial activation and elevated expression of inflammatory cytokines, also correlate with age-related cognitive decline. It is still under debate whether the mitochondrial dysfunction-induced metabolic deficits or the microglia activation-mediated neuroinflammation is the initiator of the cognitive changes in aging and AD. Nevertheless, multiple lines of evidence support the notion that mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic inflammation exacerbate each other, and these mechanistic diversities have cellular redox dysregulation as a common denominator. This research topic focuses on the role of a metabolic-inflammatory axis encompassing the bioenergetic activity, brain inflammatory responses and their redox regulation in healthy brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Dynamic interactions among these systems are reviewed in terms of their causative or in-tandem occurrence and how the systemic environment, –e.g., insulin resistance, diabetes, and systemic inflammation–, impacts on brain function.

Book Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5  Cdk5

Download or read book Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5 Cdk5 written by Nancy Y. Ip and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5 provides a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of reviews on the discovery, signaling mechanisms and functions of Cdk5, as well as the potential implication of Cdk5 in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Since the identification of this unique member of the Cdk family, Cdk5 has emerged as one of the most important signal transduction mediators in the development, maintenance and fine-tuning of neuronal functions and networking. Further studies have revealed that Cdk5 is also associated with the regulation of neuronal survival during both developmental stages and in neurodegenerative diseases. These observations indicate that precise control of Cdk5 is essential for the regulation of neuronal survival. The pivotal role Cdk5 appears to play in both the regulation of neuronal survival and synaptic functions thus raises the interesting possibility that Cdk5 inhibitors may serve as therapeutic treatment for a number of neurodegenerative diseases.
