Linoleic acid participates in the response to ischemic brain injury through oxidized metabolites that regulate neurotransmission. [PDF]
Linoleic acid (LA; 18:2 n-6), the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in the US diet, is a precursor to oxidized metabolites that have unknown roles in the brain.

Analysis of the Effect of Atherosclerosis with the Changes of Hematocrit: A Computational Study on the Hemodynamics of Carotid Artery [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a state wherein plaque (fat, cholesterol, and different substances) develops inside the veins that in the end prompts carotid artery stenosis which is a phase of narrowing in the huge courses situated on either side of the neck that convey blood to the brain, face, and head.

Wide therapeutic time window for nimesulide neuroprotection in a model of transient focal cerebral ischemia in the rat [PDF]
Results from several studies indicate that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved ischemic brain injury. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of the selective COX-2 inhibitor nimesulide on cerebral infarction and ...

Parkinsonian Neurotoxins Impair the Pro-inflammatory Response of Glial Cells
In the case of Parkinson’s disease (PD), epidemiological studies have reported that pesticide exposure is a risk factor for its pathology. It has been suggested that some chemical agents, such as rotenone and paraquat, that inhibit the mitochondrial ...

Effects and Mechanisms of Exosomes from Different Sources in Cerebral Ischemia
Cerebral ischemia refers to the symptom of insufficient blood supply to the brain. Cells of many different origins participate in the process of repairing damage after cerebral ischemia occurs, in which exosomes secreted by the cells play important roles.

Barrier mechanisms in neonatal stroke. [PDF]
Clinical data continue to reveal that the incidence of perinatal stroke is high, similar to that in the elderly. Perinatal stroke leads to significant morbidity and severe long-term neurological and cognitive deficits, including cerebral palsy ...

Reactive astrocytes function as phagocytes after brain ischemia via ABCA1-mediated pathway
Astrocytes become reactive following various brain insults; however, the functions of reactive astrocytes are poorly understood. Here, we show that reactive astrocytes function as phagocytes after transient ischemic injury and appear in a limited ...
