• Aspirin and N‐acetylcysteine co‐administration markedly inhibit chronic ethanol intake and block relapse binge drinking: Role of neuroinflammation‐oxidative stress self‐perpetuation 

  Israel, Yedy; Quintanilla, María Elena; Ezquer, Fernando; Morales, Paola; Santapau, Daniela; Berríos-Cárcamo, Pablo; Ezquer, Marcelo; Olivares, Belen; Herrera-Marschitz, Mario (2020)

  Chronic alcohol intake leads to neuroinflammation and cell injury, proposed to result in alterations that perpetuate alcohol intake and cued-relapse. Studies show that brain oxidative stress is consistently associated with ...
• Intranasal delivery of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes reduces oxidative stress and markedly inhibits ethanol consumption and post-deprivation relapse drinking. 

  Ezquer, Fernando; Quintanilla, María Elena; Morales, Paola; Santapau, Daniela; Ezquer, Marcelo; Kogan, Marcelo J.; Salas-Huenuleo, Edison; Herrera-Marschitz, Mario; Israel, Yedy (2020)

  Chronic ethanol consumption leads to brain oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, conditions known to potentiate and perpetuate each other. Several studies have shown that neuroinflammation results in increases in chronic ...
• Gene and cell therapy on the acquisition and relapse-like binge drinking in a model of alcoholism: translational options 

  Israel, Yedy; Quintanilla, María Elena; Ezquer, Fernando; Morales, Paola; Rivera-Meza, Mario; Karahanian, Eduardo; Ezquer, Marcelo; Herrera-Marschitz, Mario (2020)

  Studies reviewed show that lentiviral gene therapy directed either at inhibiting the synthesis of brain acetaldehyde generated from ethanol or at degrading brain acetaldehyde fully prevent ethanol intake by rats bred for ...
• Intranasal mesenchymal stem cell secretome administration markedly inhibits alcohol and nicotine self-administration and blocks relapse-intake: mechanism and translational options 

  Quintanilla, María Elena; Ezquer, Fernando; Morales, Paola; Santapau, Daniela; Berríos-Cárcamo, Pablo; Ezquer, Marcelo; Herrera-Marschitz, Mario; Israel, Yedy (2019)

  Background: Chronic consumption of most drugs of abuse leads to brain oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, which inhibit the glutamate transporter GLT-1, proposed to perpetuate drug intake. The present study aimed at ...
• Consumer confidence and consumption: empirical evidence from 

  Acuña, Guillermo; Echeverría, Cristián; Pinto-Gutiérrez, Cristian (2019)

  This paper examines whether consumer confidence forecasts future consumption in Chile. The results show that consumer confidence indicators are positively related to consumption growth during the month following the ...
