摘要:
The present invention provides a method for diagnosing schizophrenia, and a schizophrenia diagnostic reagent or device for use in the method. The present invention further provides a therapeutic or ameliorating agent for schizophrenia, which is effective for the treatment or amelioration of schizophrenia. The therapeutic or ameliorating agent for schizophrenia contains a carbonyl scavenger or a carbonyl-modified protein formation inhibitor as an active ingredient. The method for diagnosing schizophrenia according to the present invention includes measuring at least one parameter in a subject, the parameter being selected from the group consisting of: (1) a genetic abnormality of glyoxalase I gene; (2) the expression level or activity of glyoxalase I in a biological sample; (3) the amount of a carbonyl compound or a carbonyl-modified protein that is a protein modified with the carbonyl compound; and (4) the amount of pyridoxal in a biological sample.
摘要:
A triple Tg (megsin/RAGE/iNOS-Tg) is constructed by crossing a megsin-Tg with an RAGE/iNOS-Tg. It is found out that this megsin/RAGE/iNOS-Tg suffers from the onset of remarkable diabetic kidney lesion at an early stage which has never been observed so far and shows various uniform lesion images such as glomerular enlargement. It is also found out that the animal showing these symptoms is useful as a model animal of diabetic nephropathy. That is to say, the disease model animal as described above overexpresses megsin gene, receptor for advanced glycation end product gene and inducible nitric oxide synthase gene and, therefore, suffers from renal dysfunction associated with glomerular disorders at an early stage.
