Huntington's disease (HDs) is a fatal, autosomal dominant, and hereditary neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor dysfunction, cognitive decline, and psychiatric disturbances. HD is well linked to mutation in the HTT gene, which leads to an abnormal expansion of trinucleotide CAG repeats, resulting in the production of the mHTT protein and responsible for abnormally long poly-Q tract. These abnormal proteins disrupt cellular processes, including neuroinflammation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, ultimately leading to selective neuronal loss in the brain.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. Glutamate(Glu) excitotoxicity is one of the main pathogenesis of PD. Glutaminase (Gls) is an enzyme primarily responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis and deamidation of glutamine (Gln) to produce Glu and ammonia.

It is known that human adolescents often consume ethanol (EtOH) alone or mixed with energy drinks (ED), especially in noisy environments. Although these agents impact the developing brain, their effects after brief exposure or when presented together remain unclear. Given that few animal studies in this subject are available, this research aimed to study the effects of a brief exposure to these stimuli on the oxidative state and EAAT-1 glutamate transporter levels in the developing rat hippocampus (HC).

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) features progressive neurodegeneration and microglial activation that results in dementia and cognitive decline. The release of soluble amyloid (Aβ) oligomers into the extracellular space is an early feature of AD pathology. This can promote excitotoxicity and microglial activation.
