Excitotoxicity is a form of neuronal death induced by increased Glutamate (Glu) signaling which has been implicated in the pathophysiology myriad neuropsychiatric conditions, such as dementia, motor disorders and epilepsy, among many others. The molecular mechanisms underlying excitotoxicity involve alterations Glu ionic calcium metabolism, receptor –particularly N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptors (NMDARs)– transporter functioning, activation downstream enzymes including phospholipases...

Background. Visceral adiposity is related to insulin resistance (IR), a metabolic state considered as risk factor for other cardiometabolic diseases. In that matter, mathematical indexes such the visceral index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP) could indirectly assess IR based on adiposity. Objective. To evaluate association diagnostic accuracy of VAI LAP diagnose in adult population Maracaibo city. Methods. This cross-sectional descriptive study with multistage sampling. Receiver...
