Agmatine and imidazoline receptors: their role in opioid analgesia, tolerance and dependence.

Abstract:

:Agmatine is an endogenous amine that is synthesized following the decarboxylation of L-arginine by arginine decarboxylase. Agmatine exists in mammalian brain and has been proposed as a neurotransmitter and/or neurotransmodulator. Agmatine binds to several targets and is considered as an endogenous ligand for imidazoline receptors. This review, mainly based on our research work in the past decade, focused on the modulations by agmatine action on imidazoline receptors to opioid analgesia, tolerance and dependence, and its possible neurochemical mechanisms. We went on to propose that agmatine and imidazoline receptors constitute a novel system of modulating opioid functions.

  • A synergic role of caspase-6 and caspase-3 in Tau truncation at D421 induced by H2O 2.

    abstract::Tau truncation is widely detected in Alzheimer's disease brain. Caspases activation is suggested to play a significant role in tau truncation at Aspartate 421 (D421) according to their ability to cleave recombinant tau in vitro. Ample evidence has shown that caspase-6 is involved in cognitive impairment and expressed ...
