    Experimentally-induced Wernicke’s encephalopathy modifies crucial rat brain parameters: the importance of Na+,K+-ATPase and a potentially neuroprotective role for antioxidant supplementation

    Wernicke’s encephalopathy (WE) is a serious neuropsychiatric syndrome caused by chronic alcoholism and thiamine (T) deficiency. Our aim was to shed more light on the pathophysiology of WE, by introducing a mod...

    Effects of adult-onset streptozotocin-induced diabetes on the rat brain antioxidant status and the activities of acetylcholinesterase, (Na+,K+)- and Mg2+-ATPase: modulation by L-cysteine

    Uncontrolled diabetes is known to affect the nervous system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the antioxidant L-cysteine (Cys) on the changes caused by adult-onset streptozotocin (STZ)-induc...
