This study aims to investigate the impact of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) during pregnancy on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methylation in the brain tissues of rat offspring.
The apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4) status has a controversial role in predicting Alzheimer’s disease (AD) factors. This meta-analysis assessed AD event risk in patients with APOE ε4 status.
Delta-opioid receptors (δ-ORs) are known to be involved in associative learning and modulating motivational states. We wanted to study if they were also involved in naturally-occurring reinforcement learning b...
Ischemic stroke (IS) is a common cerebrovascular disease. Although the formation of atherosclerosis, which is closely related to oxidative stress (OS), is associated with stroke-related deaths. However, the ro...
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common subtype of stroke, characterized by a high mortality rate and a tendency to cause neurological damage. This study aims to investigate the role and mechanisms of lncRN...
