Study of the pathophysiological role of nitric oxide and nitrative stress in brain: translational effects on the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein in Alzheimer's disease and post-translational effects on fibrinogen in brain ischemia 

Ill-Raga, Gerard (Date of defense: 2010-09-28)

Nitric oxide (NO) is a neurotransmitter involved in memory processes. Currently, the only recognized physiological signalling pathway controlled by NO is the activation of guanylyl cyclase. In this thesis, we propose an ...
