Fall 2012
Numerous investigations have suggested that dysregulation of the neurotransmitter glutamate (Glu) plays an important role in certain neuropsychiatric disorders, like depression. Pregnancy and the postpartum period are associated with the most substantial physiological alteration of female...

Sourdough fermentation can generate various peptides and amino acids to improve bread quality, such as taste, flavor and texture. The aim of this PhD dissertation was to investigate the synthesis mechanisms of bioactive and taste active peptides or amino acids during fermentation and their effect...

In rodents, stress and corticosteroids rapidly increase excitatory neurotransmission. During excitatory neurotransmission, glutamate concentrations are maintained by conversion of glutamine to glutamate. The hypothesis was that cortisol would alter human prefrontal glutamine or glutamate...

Tang, Kai Xing, Shi, Tiange, Gänzle, Michael G.
The accumulation of taste-active compounds during ripening determines the taste of fermented meats; however, the contribution of defined starter cultures to glutamate during sausage ripening remains unknown. This study investigated the role of lactic acid bacteria and Staphylococcus carnosus on...

Glutamate Levels in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex of Healthy Women during Pregnancy and the Postpartum
DownloadFall 2012
The substantial female hormone fluctuations associated with pregnancy and the postpartum have been linked to a greater risk of developing depressive symptoms. Glutamate (Glu) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of major depression. The objective of this thesis was to investigate MPFC Glu...

Risk factors for postpartum depression (PPD) include history of a major depressive episode, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or a prior episode of PPD. Fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, and neuroactive steroids occur in the postpartum, and these molecules act as modulators of a number of...

Role of Glutamate and GABA in a mouse model expressing mutant human APP in the absence of NPC1 protein
DownloadSpring 2013
Cholesterol plays a critical role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To address this issue we have generated a line of ANPC transgenic mice that overexpress mutant-human amyloid precursor protein in the absence of cholesterol transporting...
