## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is an unstable molecule with physiological and pathological properties. In brain, NO acts as a modulator of neurotransmission as well as a protector against neuronal death from several death stimuli. However, beside this protector effect, high NO concentrations produce

Ceramide is a sphingolipid that has been implicated both in apoptosis and protection from cell death. We show that in both rat cerebellar granule cells and cortical neuronal cultures application of C(2)-ceramide causes cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Similar effects were observed wi
A dysfunctional ubiquitin-proteasome system recently has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We have shown previously that spinal motor neurons are more vulnerable to proteasome inhibition-induced neurotoxicit
Overstimulation of ionotropic glutamate receptors leads to excitotoxic neuronal death, which has been implicated in the neurodegeneration of neurological diseases. The present study examined the role of putative low-affinity kainate receptor subtype (GluR5-7) agonists in excitotoxicity in cultured m
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND 5βfluorouracil (5βFU) is a widely used anticancer drug. One of the adverse effects of this drug is selective cerebral white matter injury, but to the authors' knowledge its mechanism has not been well documented. The current study was performed to investigate the mechanis
