## Abstract The pedunculopontine nucleus is composed of cholinergic and nonβcholinergic neurones and is located in the caudal pontomesencephalic tegmentum. Evidence suggests that the nucleus plays a role in the production and control of movement. The nucleus has dense interconnections with the basa

One of the immediate eukaryotic cellular responses to DNA breakage is the covalent post-translational modification of nuclear proteins with poly(ADP-ribose) from NAD+ as precursor, mostly catalysed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Recently several other polypeptides have been shown to cata
## Abstract Vascular calcifications are the consequence of several pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and chronic renal insufficiency. They are associated with risks of amputation, ischemic heart disease, stroke and increased mortality. A growing body of
Hydrogen sulfide (HβS) is a toxic gas that is now recognized as an important mediator of many physiological processes. In the colon, HβS is produced both endogenously and by naturally occurring sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). The full arrays of its effects in the gastrointestinal tract are still be
Nitric oxide (NOΠΈ) is an arginine-derived nitrogenbased radical that is rapidly becoming one of the most important molecular species to be discovered. Over the past decade, an explosion of evidence has revealed the extreme complexity of function of this seemingly simple inorganic molecule. It is now
Ketone bodies are produced by the liver and used peripherally as an energy source when glucose is not readily available. The two main ketone bodies are acetoacetate (AcAc) and 3-beta-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), while acetone is the third, and least abundant, ketone body. Ketones are always present in the
