Study Design: Experimental Animal Study.

Objective: To continue validating an antibody which targets an epitope of neurofilament light chain (NF-L) only available during neurodegeneration and to utilize the antibody to describe the pattern of axonal degeneration 10 days post-unilateral C4 contusion in the rat.

Setting: University of Florida laboratory in Gainesville, USA.

Background: Estrogen is a master regulator of the bioenergetic system in the female brain, exerting broad control over metabolic processes from glucose transport to glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, and ATP generation. The loss of estrogen during the perimenopausal transition is associated with decline in brain glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function which can contribute to the two-fold greater lifetime risk of Alzheimer's disease in postmenopausal women. While both ERα and ERβ have been reported to mediate E2 regulation of brain bioenergetic function, their cell-type specific contribution to bioenergetic homeostasis has yet to be elucidated.

is a foodborne pathogen linked to severe infections in infants and often associated with contaminated powdered infant formula. The RecA protein, a key player in DNA repair and recombination, also influences bacterial resilience and virulence. This study investigated the impact of deletion on the pathogenicity and environmental stress tolerance of BAA-894.

Chronic hyperoxia during early postnatal development depresses breathing when neonatal rats are returned to room air and causes long-lasting attenuation of the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR). In contrast, little is known about the control of breathing of juvenile or adult mammals after chronic exposure to moderate hyperoxia later in life. Therefore, Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 60% O for 7 days (juveniles) or for 4 and 14 days (adults) and ventilation was measured by whole-body plethysmography immediately after the exposure or following a longer period of recovery in room air.

Objective: Sulfur mustard (SM) is an important chemical warfare agent. The mechanisms underlying SM toxicity have not been completely elucidated. However, oxidative stress and the subsequent damage to macromolecules have been considered ascrucial steps in SM toxicity.
