Age-related decline of synaptic plasticity is regulated by neuro-androgen and neuro-estrogen in normal aging of hippocampus

Suguru Kawato, Yasushi Hojo, Mari Ogiue‐Ikeda, Mika Soma, Minoru Saito, Jonghyuk Kim, Arisa Munetomo, Shimpei Higo, Hirotaka Ishii, Asami Kato, Hideo Mukai, Ayako Hiragushi, Takuji Shirasawa, Takahiko Shimizu, Shigeo Horie

The paper shows that age-related decline in hippocampal dendritic spine density in male rats is linked to decreased neuro-androgen levels and partially offset by estrogen.

Rethinking synthesis and function of neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen in the hippocampus: some methodological problems and possible solutions

Suguru Kawato, Mari Ogiue‐Ikeda, Mika Soma, Shigeo Horie, Minoru Saito, Kouichi Minato

The paper discusses methodological improvements for measuring neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen concentrations and dendritic spine density in rat hippocampus to address inconsistencies and variability in results.

Inhibition of PDE5 induces rapid non-genomic increase in hippocampal dendritic spines via specific kinases

Mika Soma, Mari Ogiue‐Ikeda, Shigeo Horie, Minoru Saito, Saria Mabashi, Hirotaka Ishii, Suguru Kawato

The paper shows that tadalafil increases hippocampal dendritic spines rapidly and non-genomically through PKG and GSK-3 inhibition.
