Food supplementation with wheat gluten leads to climbing performance decline in .

Gluten sensitivity is associated with digestive and neurological disorders, correlating with abnormal amino acid levels, innate immune responses, gut dysbiosis and movement incoordination. However, the molecular mechanisms linking dietary gluten and brain function remain incompletely understood. We used to test the effects of gluten ingestion in locomotion performance.

Nutraceutical and Probiotic Approaches to Examine Molecular Interactions of the Amyloid Precursor Protein APP in Models of Alzheimer's Disease.

Studies using animal models have shed light into the molecular and cellular basis for the neuropathology observed in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In particular, the role of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) plays a crucial role in the formation of senile plaques and aging-dependent degeneration. Here, we focus our review on recent findings using the AD model to expand our understanding of APP molecular function and interactions, including insights gained from the fly homolog APP-like (APPL).
