The MTHFR gene encodes methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase required for the metabolism of homocysteine (Hcy) - a previously reported independent risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS). In this study, we first aimed to clarify the association between DNA methylation levels in the MTHFR promoter and the risk of IS, followed by the ... Read more >>

Background:Dexmedetomidine (DEX) could have an analgesic effect on pain transmission through the modulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In addition, KCC2-induced shift in neuronal Cl- homeostasis is crucial for postsynaptic inhibition mediated by GABAA receptors. Accumulating evidence shows that nerve injury, peripheral inflammation and stress activate the spinal BDNF/TrkB signal, ... Read more >>

Buckwheat (BF) and millet (MF) are recommended as healthy foods due to their unique chemical composition and health benefits. This study investigated the thermal and rheological properties of BF-WF (wheat flour) and MF-WF flour blends at various ratios (0:100 to 100:0). Increasing BF or MF concentration led to higher cold ... Read more >>

Chronic stresses can induce physiological and psychological changes and result in stress-related neuropsychiatry, sometimes they may also contribute to hypersensitivity to pain known as stress-induced hyperalgesia (SIH). Recently it was found that GABAergic disinhibition is closely related to morphine and chronic inflammation pain induced hyperalgesia in the PAG (periaqueductal gray)-RVM ... Read more >>
