Intranasal administration of antibodies to glutamate for 14 days improved passive avoidance conditioning and reduces the content of IL-6 within 7 days after their withdrawal in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of aging C57BL/6 mice.

To better understand the mechanism of insulin action, it was important to show its ability to diminish autophagic neuronal death in animals with brain ischemic and reperfusion injury. In forebrain ischemia and reperfusion, the number of live neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region and frontal cortex of rats decreased to a large extent.

In recent years, it has become evident that gravitational stress affects both the whole organism and individual cells. We have previously demonstrated that simulated microgravity inhibits proliferation, induces apoptosis, changes morphology, and alters the surface marker expression of megakaryoblast cell line MEG-01.

The immunohistochemical reaction of specific antibodies to marker proteins of activated microglia (Iba1) and astrocytes (GFAP) in hippocampal slices revealed the neuroprotective effect of exogenous gangliosides which can be mostly explained by their ability to suppress neuroinflammation and gliosis. The expression of neurotrophic factor BDNF in the CA1 region of hippocampus did not differ in sham-operated rats and animals exposed to ischemia/reperfusion.

The skin and other organs may be impacted by the inflammatory infiltration. It can occur at any age.
