Carnitine congener mildronate protects against stress- and haloperidol-induced impairment in memory and brain protein expression in rats
Beitnere, Ulrika; Dzirkale, Zane; Isajevs, Sergejs; Rumaks, Juris; Svirskis, Simons; Klusa, Vija (Elsevier, 2014)The present study investigates the efficacy of mildronate, a carnitine congener, to protect stress and haloperidol-induced impairment of memory in rats and the expression of brain protein biomarkers involved in synaptic ... -
Lunasin-induced behavioural effects in mice: Focus on the dopaminergic system
Dzirkale, Zane; Rumaks, Juris; Svirskis, Simons; Mazina, Olga; Allikalt, Anni; Rinken, Ago; Jekabsons, Kaspars; Muceniece, Ruta; Klusa, Vija (Elsevier, 2013)The present study for the first time is devoted to identify central effects of synthetic lunasin, a 43 amino acid peptide. A markedly expressed neuroleptic/cataleptic effect was observed at low (0.1–10 nmol/mouse) centrally ... -
Very low doses of muscimol and baclofen ameliorate cognitive deficits and regulate protein expression in the brain of a rat model of streptozocin-induced Alzheimer's disease
Pilipenko, Vladimirs; Narbute, Karina; Beitnere, Ulrika; Rumaks, Juris; Pupure, Jolanta; Jansone, Baiba; Klusa, Vija (Elsevier, 2018-01-05)Recent studies devoted to neuroprotection have focused on the role of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system in regulating neuroinflammatory processes which play a key role in the neurodegenerative processes observed ... -
γ1- and γ2-melanocyte stimulating hormones induce central anxiogenic effects and potentiate ethanol withdrawal responses in the elevated plus-maze test in mice
Jansone, Baiba; Rumaks, Juris; Dzirkale, Zane; Pupure, Jolanta; Svirskis, Šimons; Muceniece, Ruta; Klusa, Vija (Elsevier, 2009)Little is known about the endogenous functions of γ1- and γ2-melanocyte stimulating hormones (γ1- and γ2-MSH). Although γ-MSHs bind to melanocortin receptor subtypes 3 and 4, we have previously shown that these peptides ...
