Summary Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
Nuestro grupo está interesado en el estudio de mecanismos neuroprotectores y anti-inflamatorios ejercidos por las células gliales, astrocitos y microglia, con énfasis particular en los efectos de las melanocortinas a traves de sus receptores MC4R en modelos animales de dietas altas en grasas y en los efectos de agonistas de los receptores metabotropicos del glutamato en modelos de animales Alzheimer y envejecimento
Lines of Investigation

Estudios de mecanismos neuroprotectores ejercidos por las celulas gliales
