  2. 1. Psychiatric and metabolic disturbances in experimental models of Huntington’s disease

    Author : Sofia Hult Lundh; Translationell neuroendokrinologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Huntington’s disease; huntingtin; hypothalamus; depression; anxiety; metabolism; neuroendocrinology; mouse models; BACHD; rAAV vectors; leptin;

    Abstract : Non-motor symptoms and signs such as metabolic and psychiatric disturbances have been reported to occur early in Huntington’s disease (HD), a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin gene. However, there is a lack of understanding of the underlying neurobiological mechanisms responsible for the early non-motor features. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neurochemical Signatures for the Evaluation of Disease State and Therapeutic Strategies in Neurodegenerative Diseases: a Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study

    Author : Sandra Cuellar-Baena; Brain Repair and Imaging in Neural Systems (BRAINS); []
    Keywords : Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; neurochemical profile; neurodegenerative diseases; gene therapy.;

    Abstract : Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) allows for the quantification of neurotransmitters, antioxidants, energy-metabolism, membrane components and cellular viability markers present in the brain. This technology has been used in preclinical studies and later extended to be used in humans, where it offers an attractive non-invasive approach complementary to other anatomical imaging modalities (e.

  5. 3. Hypothalamic and Metabolic Dysfunction in Genetic Models of Huntington’s Disease

    Author : Rana Soylu Kucharz; Translationell neuroendokrinologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Huntington’s Disease; Huntingtin; Hypothalamus; Metabolism; Obesity; orexin; PVN; BAT; TH; neuroendocrinology;

    Abstract : Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. HD is an inherited progressive neurodegenerative disorder manifested by the wide array of motor dysfunctions, as well as non-motor symptoms. READ MORE
