Aluminum and copper in drinking water enhance inflammatory or oxidative events specifically in the brain

A Becaria, DK Lahiri, SC Bondy, DM Chen… - Journal of …, 2006 - Elsevier
Inflammatory and oxidative events are up-regulated in the brain of AD patients. It has been
reported that in animal models of AD, exposure to aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu) enhanced …

A rapid non-enzymatic method for the preparation of HMW DNA from blood for RFLP studies.

DK Lahiri, JI Nurnberger Jr - Nucleic acids research, 1991 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 1. In our hands, this procedure yields more DNA than any
other methods (1-5), generally in the range of 130-160. tg from 5 ml of blood. We have also …

Selective butyrylcholinesterase inhibition elevates brain acetylcholine, augments learning and lowers Alzheimer β-amyloid peptide in rodent

…, K Sambamurti, A Brossi, DK Lahiri - Proceedings of the …, 2005 - National Acad Sciences
Like acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inactivates the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine (ACh) and is hence a viable therapeutic target in Alzheimer's disease, which is …

GLP-1 receptor stimulation preserves primary cortical and dopaminergic neurons in cellular and rodent models of stroke and Parkinsonism

…, K Sambamurti, A Brossi, DK Lahiri… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an endogenous insulinotropic peptide secreted from the
gastrointestinal tract in response to food intake. It enhances pancreatic islet β-cell …

[HTML][HTML] An iron-responsive element type II in the 5′-untranslated region of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein transcript

…, SS Sarang, T Utsuki, NH Greig, DK Lahiri… - Journal of Biological …, 2002 - ASBMB
Iron-responsive elements (IREs) are the RNA stem loops that control cellular iron homeostasis
by regulating ferritin translation and transferrin receptor mRNA stability. We mapped a …

A new therapeutic target in Alzheimer's disease treatment: attention to butyrylcholinesterase

…, TA Perry, B Lee, DK Ingram, DK Lahiri - … medical research and …, 2001 - Taylor & Francis
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the elderly,

…, DC Rice, B Maloney, D Chen, DK Lahiri… - Journal of …, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
The sporadic nature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) argues for an environmental link that may
drive AD pathogenesis; however, the triggering factors and the period of their action are …

Butyrylcholinesterase: an important new target in Alzheimer's disease therapy

NH Greig, DK Lahiri, K Sambamurti - International psychogeriatrics, 2002 - cambridge.org
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) predominates in the healthy brain, with butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE)
considered to play a minor role in regulating brain acetylcholine (ACh) levels. …

DNA isolation by a rapid method from human blood samples: Effects of MgCl2, EDTA, storage time, and temperature on DNA yield and quality

DK Lahiri, B Schnabel - Biochemical genetics, 1993 - Springer
The isolation of DNA from whole blood by a modified rapid method (RM) was tested using
various detergents and buffer conditions. Extraction of DNA with either NP-40 or Triton X-100 …
