Download or read book Cytochrome Oxidase in Neuronal Metabolism and Alzheimer’s Disease written by Francisco Gonzalez-Lima and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-09-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a satellite to the 27th meeting of the Society for Neuroscience held October 28 in New Orleans, this symposium was dedicated to Dr. Margaret T.T. Wong-Reiley, developer of the method of cytochrome oxidase histochemical mapping of metabolism in the brain, on the 20th anniversary of this breakthrough. In this first ever compilation of papers applying this technique to the study of Alzheimer's, the 22 contributors--including Dr. Wong-Reiley--overview the role of cytochrome oxidase in cellular energy metabolism and neuronal activity and the methodology for its study via specific application examples. Part II treats the hypothesis that cytochrome inhibition may predict potential neurodegeneration, through discussions of animal models and genetic vulnerability of regions of the brain.
