“…Pre-clinical trials evaluating receptor antagonism (RA), AMPA-RA (Kovacs and Pearce, 2008) and NMDA-RA (Finn et al, 2013) have improved the neurobehavioral phenotypes associated with LSDs. Furthermore, a number of pharmacological agents have been explored eliciting various effects from modulating membrane fluidity (Schultz et al, 2018), modulating Ca 2+ (Chang et al, 2007) or cholesterol levels (Erickson et al, 2000;Pelled et al, 2003;Kim et al, 2007;Repa et al, 2007;Abi-Mosleh et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2010;Taylor et al, 2012;Hovakimyan et al, 2013;Nusca et al, 2014;Tanaka et al, 2014;Soga et al, 2015;Demais et al, 2016;Liou et al, 2016), and enhancing enzyme activity (Arroyo et al, 2014) via the use of neurosteroids (NS) (Griffin et al, 2004;Liao et al, 2009). There is also interest in facilitating sphingolipid degradation via the upregulation of heat shock proteins (HSP) (Chung et al, 2016;Kirkegaard et al, 2016).…”
