Mechanism of ictogenesis of D- and L-stereroisomers of homocysteic acid was studied in 12-day-old rats by means of antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors. There was no qualitative difference between the two stereoisomers in generation of emprosthotonic (flexion) as well as generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Moderate differences were observed in the first, nonconvulsive effects of the two isomers. As generation of the two types of seizures is concerned, NMDA and AMPA participate in generalized tonic-clonic seizures whereas NMDA receptors play a dominant role in generation of flexion seizures.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) influenced by multiple factors. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid derived from the root and bark of Franch., has shown promise in managing UC, but its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

The most prevalent comorbidity among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD). CFRD has been linked to one of the worse clinical outcomes and a higher mortality. Improved clinical results have been related to earlier diagnosis and treatment of CFRD.

There is growing literature supporting cannabinoids as a potential therapeutic for pain conditions. The development of chronic pain has been associated with reduced concentrations of the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide (AEA) in the midbrain dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG), and microinjections of synthetic cannabinoids into the dPAG are antinociceptive. Therefore, the goal of this study was to examine the role of the dPAG in cannabinoid-mediated sensory inhibition.

One-carbon metabolism is an important metabolic pathway involved in many diseases, such as congenital malformations, tumours, cardiovascular diseases, anaemia, depression, cognitive diseases and liver disease. However, the current methods have specific defects in detecting and qualifying the related compounds of one-carbon metabolism. In this study, a validated method was established to simultaneously quantify 22 one-carbon metabolites & co-factors in human plasma and applied to the study of correlation between one-carbon metabolism and colorectal cancer in human plasma samples, which were from 44 healthy subjects and 55 colorectal cancer patients.

Background: Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency is associated with an altered microbiota in older men. However, the relationship between the gut microbiota and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels remains unknown in postmenopausal women. In this study, fecal microbiota profiles for 88 postmenopausal women in the high 25(OH)D (HVD) group (n = 44) and the low 25(OH)D (LVD) group (n = 44) were determined.
