We have previously demonstrated that maternal exposure to glyphosate-based herbicide
(GBH) leads to glutamate excitotoxicity in 15-day-old rat hippocampus. The present study …

The S100B astroglial protein is widely used as a parameter of glial activation and/or death in
several conditions of brain injury. Cerebrospinal fluid and serum S100B variations have …

The understanding of the physiology of astrocytes and their role in brain function progresses
continuously. Primary astrocyte culture is an alternative method to study these cells in an …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia. Intracerebroventricular
(ICV) infusion of streptozotocin (STZ) provides a relevant animal model of chronic brain …

S100B is a 21-kDa protein that is produced and secreted by astrocytes and widely used as a
