Effects of hypoxia‐ischemia on monoamine metabolism in the immature brain [PDF]
AbstractWe measured acute changes in monoamine metabolites in corpus striatum of immature rat pups exposed to hypoxiaischemia, hypoxia alone, or total global ischemia. Carotid ligations and two hours of 8% oxygen environment in 7‐day‐old pups led to asymmetrical turning behavior, a 70% decrease in endogenous striatal dopamine levels, and a 125 ...

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

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 ...

The effects of hyperglycaemic hypoxia on rectification in rat dorsal root axons [PDF]
1. Electrotonic responses to 150 ms current pulses were recorded from isolated rat dorsal roots incubated for at least 3 h with either normal (5 mM) or high (25 mM) D-glucose solutions, and with either normal (25 mM) or low (5 mM) bicarbonate ...

A population of immature cerebellar parallel fibre synapses are insensitive to adenosine but are inhibited by hypoxia [PDF]
The purine adenosine plays an important role in a number of physiological and pathological processes and is neuroprotective during hypoxia and ischemia.

Prednisolone as preservation additive prevents from ischemia reperfusion injury in a rat model of orthotopic lung transplantation [PDF]
The lung is, more than other solid organs, susceptible for ischemia reperfusion injury after orthotopic transplantation. Corticosteroids are known to potently suppress pro-inflammatory processes when given in the post-operative setting or during ...

Three distinct mechanisms generate oxygen free radicals in neurons and contribute to cell death during anoxia and reoxygenation [PDF]
Ischemia is a major cause of brain damage, and patient management is complicated by the paradoxical injury that results from reoxygenation. We have now explored the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in hippocampal and cortical neurons in ...

Inhaled 45–50% argon augments hypothermic brain protection in a piglet model of perinatal asphyxia
Cooling to 33.5 °C in babies with neonatal encephalopathy significantly reduces death and disability, however additional therapies are needed to maximize brain protection.
