1. Are hemoglobin-derived peptides involved in the neuropsychiatric symptoms caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection?
Follow-up of patients affected by COVID-19 has unveiled remarkable findings. Among the several sequelae caused by SARS-CoV-2 viral infection, it is particularly noteworthy that patients are prone to developing depression, anxiety, cognitive disorders, and dementia as part of the post-COVID-19 syndrome. The multisystem aspects of this disease suggest that mul

2. Identification of Potential Human Protein Targets for Soybean Isoflavones
Soy isoflavones have been reported as endocrine disruptors due to their ability to modulate the activity of estrogen receptors (ERs) in mammals; however, its ability to modulate other metabolic pathways is not entirely clear, which makes it necessary to identify new pharmacological targets that interact with these compounds present in soybean. In this work,

3. Effects of fed mycotoxin contaminated diets supplemented with spray-dried porcine plasma on cholinergic response and behavior in piglets
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) supplementation on cholinesterase enzymes and its relationship with animal behavior of weaning piglets exposed to mycotoxin contaminated diets. To achieve these objectives, two experimental design approaches were used. Male piglets (7.15±0.61kg) were allocated in

4. Long-term treatment with 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine caused retina damage in C57BL/6 mice
RESUMO Objetivos: Como uma classe de drogas psicoesti mulantes, as anfetaminas são amplamente usadas por suas propriedades estimulantes, eufóricas e alucinógenas. Muitos desses efeitos resultam de aumentos agudos na neurotransmissão da dopamina e da serotonina. Após o início desses efeitos, a 3,4-metilenedioximetanfetamina produz danos persistentes no

5. In silico analysis of binding interaction of conantokins with NMDA receptors for potential therapeutic use in Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Background The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are glutamate receptors that play vital roles in central nervous system development and are involved in synaptic plasticity, which is an essential process for learning and memory. The subunit N-methyl D-aspartate receptor subtype 2B (NR2B) is the chief excitatory neurotransmitter receptor in the

6. Epistasis between COMT Val158Met and DRD3 Ser9Gly polymorphisms and cognitive function in schizophrenia: genetic influence on dopamine transmission
Objective:To assess the relationship between cognitive function, a proposed schizophrenia endophenotype, and two genetic polymorphisms related to dopamine function, catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) Val158Met and dopamine receptor 3 (DRD3) Ser9Gly.Methods:Fifty-eight outpatients with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder and 88 healthy controls underwent

7. Sleep pattern and learning in knockdown mice with reduced cholinergic neurotransmission
Impaired cholinergic neurotransmission can affect memory formation and influence sleep-wake cycles (SWC). In the present study, we describe the SWC in mice with a deficient vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) system, previously characterized as presenting reduced acetylcholine release and cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions. Continuous, chronic ECo

8. Evaluation of neurotransmitters involved in the anxiolytic and panicolytic effect of the aqueous fraction of Paullinia cupana (guaraná) in elevated T maze
This study investigated the effects of repeatedly administration of an aqueous fraction of Paullinia cupana Kunth, Sapindaceae (guaraná) seeds (8 mg/kg) on rats submitted to the elevated T-maze, model of generalized anxiety and panic disorders. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor paroxetine (3 mg/kg), was used as a positive control. To evaluate possi

9. Padrão da atividade locomotora e expressão de EAAC1 e GLT1 no córtex pré-frontal e entorrinal de ratos criados em isolamento a partir do desmame / Pattern of locomotor activity and expression of EAAC1 and GLT1 in prefrontal and entorhinal cortex of rats reared in isolation from weaning
Isolation rearing of rats from weaning has been used as an experimental model of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. It has been demonstrated that isolation induces morphological, behavioral (like hyperactivity in a novel environment) and neurochemical changes similar to those reported for humans with schizophrenia. Evidence suggest that glutamatergic

10. Avaliação do modelo de hiperargininemia sobre parâmetros neuroquímicos, moleculares e compartamentais em peixe-zebra (Danio rerio): uma abordagem sobre o sistema purinérgico
Hyperargininemia is a rare disease caused by an innate error of the metabolism (EIM) biochemically characterized by the accumulation of arginine in body tissues due to arginase deficits. Mental retardation and other neurological symptoms are common in hyperargininemic patients. Several mechanisms have been proposed to describe the neurotoxicity of hiperargin

11. Fine-tuning of defensive behaviors in the dorsal periaqueductal gray by atypical neurotransmitters
This paper presents an up-to-date review of the evidence indicating that atypical neurotransmitters such as nitric oxide (NO) and endocannabinoids (eCBs) play an important role in the regulation of aversive responses in the periaqueductal gray (PAG). Among the results supporting this role, several studies have shown that inhibitors of neuronal NO synthase or

12. Linking dopamine neurotransmission and neurogenesis: the evolutionary history of the NTAD (NCAM1-TTC12-ANKK1-DRD2) gene cluster
Genetic studies have long suggested the important role of the DRD2 gene in psychiatric disorders and behavior. Further research has shown a conjoined effect of genes in the Chr11q22-23 region, which includes the NCAM1, TTC12, ANKK1 and DRD2 genes, or NTAD cluster. Despite a growing need to unravel the role of this cluster, few studies have taken into account
