Hemoglobin mRNA Changes in the Frontal Cortex of Patients with Neurodegenerative Diseases
22 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background: Hemoglobin is the major protein found in erythrocytes, where it acts as an oxygen carrier molecule. In recent years, its expression has also been reported also in neurons and glial cells, although its role in brain tissue remains still unknown. Altered hemoglobin expression has been associated with various neurodegenerative disorders. Here we investigated hemoglobin mRNA levels in brains of patients...
