Tetrahydrobiopterin in antenatal brain hypoxia-ischemia-induced motor impairments and cerebral palsy
Antenatal brain hypoxia-ischemia, which occurs in cerebral palsy, is considered a significant cause of motor impairments in children. The mechanisms by which antenatal hypoxia-ischemia causes brain injury and motor deficits still need to be elucidated ...

Metabolic Changes Following Perinatal Asphyxia: Role of Astrocytes and Their Interaction with Neurons [PDF]
Perinatal Asphyxia (PA) represents an important cause of severe neurological deficits including delayed mental and motor development, epilepsy, major cognitive deficits and blindness.

A depletable pool of adenosine in area CA1 of the rat hippocampus [PDF]
Adenosine plays a major modulatory and neuroprotective role in the mammalian CNS. During cerebral metabolic stress, such as hypoxia or ischemia, the increase in extracellular adenosine inhibits excitatory synaptic transmission onto vulnerable neurons via

Roles of nitric oxide in brain hypoxia-ischemia
A large body of evidence has appeared over the last 6 years suggesting that nitric oxide biosynthesis is a key factor in the pathophysiological response of the brain to hypoxia-ischemia. Whilst studies on the influence of nitric oxide in this phenomenon initially offered conflicting conclusions, the use of better biochemical tools, such as selective ...

Autophagy in hypoxia-ischemia induced brain injury: Evidences and speculations [PDF]
The interaction among autophagy, apoptosis and necrosis is complex and still a matter of debate. We have recently studied this interaction after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) in rats. We found that autophagic and apoptotic pathways were significantly increased at short times after HI in neuronal cells. 3-Methyladenine (3-MA) and wortmannin (WM), which

Disruption of the Serotonergic System after Neonatal Hypoxia-Ischemia in a Rodent Model
Identifying which specific neuronal phenotypes are vulnerable to neonatal hypoxia-ischemia, where in the brain they are damaged, and the mechanisms that produce neuronal losses are critical to determine the anatomical substrates responsible for ...

Global Gene Expression in the Immature Brain after Hypoxia-Ischemia [PDF]
Ischemia induces a complex response of differentially expressed genes in the brain. In order to understand the specific mechanisms of injury in the developing brain, it is important to obtain information on global changes in the transcriptome after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia.

Hypoxic Preconditioning Suppresses Glial Activation and Neuroinflammation in Neonatal Brain Insults
Perinatal insults and subsequent neuroinflammation are the major mechanisms of neonatal brain injury, but there have been only scarce reports on the associations between hypoxic preconditioning and glial activation.

Analysis of GWAS-Derived Schizophrenia Genes for Links to Ischemia-Hypoxia Response of the Brain
Obstetric complications (OCs) can induce major adverse conditions for early brain development and predispose to mental disorders, including schizophrenia (SCZ).
