Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common causes of dementia. AD is a progressive, degenerative, and irreversible neurological disorder that cause early, cognitive impairment, memory loss, and behaviour changes. AD shares many age-related pathophysiological features of type 2 diabetes (T2D), importantly, insulin resistance defined as reduced cellular responsiveness to insulin. Insulin resistance is considered an etiological factor in AD. Insulin participates in synaptic plasticity through the activation of the insulin receptor (IR) and the PI3K signalling pathway.
In this study, western blots were used to analyze the protein levels of insulin and IGF-1 receptors and substrates during the development and aging in different brain areas (prefrontal area, dorsal hippocampus, amygdala, and cerebellum) in rats. We found receptors and receptors substrate levels may vary depending on age and area analysed. The implications of these results are discussed. [-]

Fidelak, Jeremy; Ferrer Castillo, Silvia; Oberlin, Michael; Moras, Dino; Dejaegere, Annick; Stote, Roland H. Springer-Verlag (2010)Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ nuclear receptor (PPAR-γ) belongs to the superfamily of nuclear receptor proteins that function as ligand-dependent transcription factors and plays a specific physiological role ... -
Of Pheromones and Kairomones: What Receptors Mediate Innate Emotional Responses?
Fortes Marco, Lluís; Lanuza, Enrique; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando Wiley (2013-09)Some chemicals elicit innate emotionally laden behavioral responses. Pheromones mediate sexual attraction, parental care or agonistic confrontation, whereas predators' kairomones elicit defensive behaviors in their preys. ... -
Hippocampal dopamine receptors modulate cFos expression in the rat nucleus accumbens evoked by chemical stimulation of the ventral hippocampus
Zornoza, Teodoro; Cano Cebrián, María J.; Martinez-Garcia, Fernando; Polache, Ana; Granero, Luis Elsevier (2005-12)Recently, we have shown that D1 and D2 receptors in the ventral hippocampus (VH) modulate both the locomotor activation and the increase in dopamine (DA) levels in the rat nucleus accumbens (NAc) induced by NMDA stimulation ...
