Distinct subcellular localization of tau and alpha-synuclein in lewy body disease by D. Luke Fischer, Marissa Menard, Omar Z. Abdelaziz, Nicholas M. Kanaan, Virginia G. Cobbs, Richard E. Kennedy, Geidy E. Serrano, Thomas G. Beach, Laura A. Volpicelli-Daley

“…Abstract Lewy bodies and neurofibrillary tangles, composed of α-synuclein (α-syn) and tau, respectively, often are found together in the same brain and correlate with worsening cognition. Human postmortem studies show colocalization of α-syn and tau occurs in Lewy bodies, but with limited effort to quantify colocalization. …”

Metabolic profile of blood serum in experimental arterial hypertension by A. A. Seryapina, A. A. Malyavko, Yu. K. Polityko, L. V. Yanshole, Yu. P. Tsentalovich, A. L. Markel

“…The pathogenesis of hypertension is influenced by a variety of both genetic and environmental factors, which determines the heterogeneity of the disease in human population. Hence, there is a need to perform research on experimental models – inbred animal strains, one of them being ISIAH rat strain, which is designed to simulate inherited stress-induced arterial hypertension as close as possible to primary (or essential) hypertension in humans. …”
