Abstract

The senescence-accelerated mouse (SAM) is a useful animal model to study aging or age-associated disorder. In the present study, we have used a multidisciplinary approach to the characterization of changes that occur in aging and in the modelling of brain aging. The SAMP8 mouse at 5 months of age exhibited an increase in gliosis and molecular oxidative damage. Likewise, we found that superoxide dismutase activity decreased compared with age-matched SAMR1 while there were no differences in activity of catalase and glutathione reductase. These results indicate that the decrease of superoxide dismutase may be involved in the increase of oxidative stress in brain of SAMP8 at younger stages. This suggestion is supported by an increase in the expression of alpha-synuclein together with phosphorylated tau protein, which is concurrent with the decline of that antioxidant enzyme. Alpha-synuclein aggregates are invariably associated with tau pathologies and our results demonstrate that alpha-synuclein accumulation is a potent inducer of tau pathologies not only in neurodegenerative diseases but also in normal aging. These results also imply that SAMP8 are exposed to elevated levels of oxidative stress from an early age, and that could be...Continue Reading

Brain Aging

Here is the latest research on intrinsic and extrinsic factors, as well as pathways and mechanisms that underlie aging in the central nervous system.

Alpha-Synuclein Aggregation (MDS)

Alpha-synucleins are small proteins that are believed to restrict the mobility of synpatic vesicles and inhibit neurotransmitter release. Aggregation of these proteins have been linked to several types of neurodegenerative diseases including dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease. Here is the latest research on α-synuclein aggregation.
