Nitric oxide synthesis is required for exercise-induced increases in hippocampal BDNF and phosphatidylinositol 3′ kinase expression

Neuroprotective effect of guanosine agai

Neuroprotective effect of guanosine against glutamate-induced cell death in rat hippocampal slices is mediated by the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/Akt/ glycogen synthase kinase 3β pathway activation and inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibition

## Abstract Excitotoxicity and cell death induced by glutamate are involved in many neurodegenerative disorders. We have previously demonstrated that excitotoxicity induced by millimolar concentrations of glutamate in hippocampal slices involves apoptotic features and glutamate‐induced glutamate re
