Abstract excerpt
Thiamine deficiency (TD) models the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which chronic oxidative deficits lead to death of select neurons in brain. Region- and cell-specific oxidative stress and vascular changes accompany the TD-induced neurodegeneration. The current studies analyzed the role of oxidative stress in initiating these events by testing the role of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and...
