Protein synthesis in neurons

Common Questions and Answers about Protein synthesis in neurons

protein

Avatar f tn This is consistant with intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulin and is considered to be a positive result for the oligoclonal bands. Oligoclonal bands are present in over 90% of patients with MS but may also be present in CSF from patients with viral or bacterial meningeoencephalitis, SSPE, neurosyphilis, Guillian-Barre syndrome, and meningeal carcinomatosis.
Avatar f tn Vitamin B6 is required in the synthesis of Serotonin, a stress fighting neurotransmitter. Calcium and Magnesium are also important, as are L-Tryptophan (for Serotonin) and L-Theanine (for GABA). And those are just things your body needs. There are many herbal extracts that can help too, like Lemon Grass, Passionflower, Bacopa, Ashwagandha root and good old Green Tea. You may want to check out a supplement called Tranquilene (www.tranquilene.com).
1139187 tn?1355706647 Had every test known to mankind. All negative except the protein synthesis with electrofusion, they are doing a bone marrow check in weds. Everything else was fine.. Full blood and smear done. Any ideas? Feel like rap all the time. Terrible back pain, ear ringing.
Avatar n tn Why was it suggested? Who suggested it to you? This supplement seems like it's designed for bodybuilders. It's not regulated by the FDA, so a pharmacist may not have information on contraindications. Still, a call to your Copaxone pharmacy as well as your PCP are in order.
Avatar f tn autonomic (sympathetic and parasympathetic) neurons innervate and regulate the function of smooth muscle and secretory cells in a wide number of tissues. Sensory neurons innervate a variety of specialized sensory appendages (e.g., muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs, Pacinian corpuscles, Ruffini corpuscles, hair follicles, touch domes) or terminate in anatomically unspecified nerve endings; each kind has precise patterns of synaptic connections in the central nervous system.
Avatar f tn (Other forms are (IgM, IgA, IgE and IgD) In one test they measure the overall amount of antibodies of all kinds that are currently being produced in the CSF. This calculation gives the rate of IgG Synthesis. In times of very active immune activity in the Central Nervous System the IgG Synthesis rate will be elevated, but if the immune activity (also referred to as immune inflammation) settles down, the Synthesis Rate will also drop.
Avatar m tn Expression of one of these proteins (2’5’ oligo A synthase) results in activation of the second of these proteins (a ribonuclease) which can break down mRNA, and expression of the third protein (a protein kinase) results in inhibition of the initiation step of protein synthesis. These activities target viral protein synthesis, but also result in inhibition of host protein synthesis.
Avatar f tn well, my IgG synthesis rate was high, my protein was slightly high at 65, but no O bands in my CSF... SO CONFUSED!
Avatar f tn it has been identified as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions involving energy metabolism and protein and nucleic acid synthesis. Magnesium can help prevent and treat migraine and cluster headaches Magnesium is far safer, cheaper, and often more effective than many expensive drugs with side-effect prescribe to migraine sufferers. Diarrhea is one side effect of magnesium intake.
1373852 tn?1307843048 how do I know if they looked for o bands in the serum?
Avatar n tn It took me about a month to start feeling ok in my mind and a little longer for me to get my energy back.I drank muscle milk protein shakes and still do every night before bed.Exercise also helps alot but start slow and work your way up.That is the most effective way to ramp up the production of endorphins.I would not worry about post acute withdrawal at this point.Just hang in there,eat right and exercise.Let us know how you are.Keep posting.
Avatar f tn Anhedonia is caused by low dopamine- that is to say, a low rate of dopamine production and release by ventral tegmental area (VTA) neurons onto pleasure neurons. DRI drugs leave more dopamine in the synapses between the VTA axons and the pleasure neurons, thus making the latter more likely to fire, thus counteracting anhedonia and non-motivation. As Paxiled said, some drugs can indeed be quite harmful.
5597711 tn?1370821338 Hi Investit - sorry you seem to be stuck in Limboland. I too had what I thought were a bunch of unrelated symptoms, all of which were eventually connected by MS. I'm not very good at reading bloodworkresultspeak, but I see that there were 2 o-bands found in your CSF. I did not see any mention of o-bands found in your serum (blood). For o-bands to be relevant to MS, they should be unique to your CSF. This means that there are more in your CSF than in your blood.
Avatar f tn 47 yo male dx w/myotonic dystrophy type 2 in oct 2009. LE weakness, numbness, poor balance, burning sensation in feet. Spastic quadriparesis much worse in legs, right > left. Brain MRI negative. Cervical - diffuse enlargement of the cervical cord w/possible focal areas of enhancement @ c4-c5. Thoracic-diffuse enlargement w/multiple foci of abn T2 signal. Lumbar puncture. CSF - Cytology - neg for malignant cells. Serum IgG - 754 (n), CSF albumin 66.4 (H), Serum albumin 3.
Avatar m tn Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a small secreted protein which is important for the growth, maintenance, and survival of certain target neurons (nerve cells). You can discuss about this with your neurologist. Take care!
