A cerebroprotective dose of intravenous citrate/sorbitol-stabilized dehydroascorbic acid is correlated with increased cerebral ascorbic acid and inhibited lipid peroxidation after murine reperfused stroke.

OBJECTIVE Oxidative damage has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia. We previously demonstrated that exogenously supplied dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), an oxidized, blood-brain barrier transportable form of the antioxidant ascorbic acid (AA), improves outcome after experimental

Preclinical evaluation of postischemic dehydroascorbic Acid administration in a large-animal stroke model.

Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), a blood-brain barrier transportable form of ascorbic acid, confers robust neuroprotection following murine stroke. In an effort to translate this promising neuroprotective strategy into human clinical trial, we evaluated postischemic DHA administration in a large-animal

Dehydroascorbic acid for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

In animal models of acute ischemic stroke, intravenous dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA), unlike ascorbic acid (AA), readily enters brain and is converted in both normal and ischemic brain into protective ascorbic acid. When given parenterally DHAA minimizes infarct volume and facilitates functional

Dehydroascorbic acid, a blood-brain barrier transportable form of vitamin C, mediates potent cerebroprotection in experimental stroke.

Neuronal injury in ischemic stroke is partly mediated by cytotoxic reactive oxygen species. Although the antioxidant ascorbic acid (AA) or vitamin C does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB), its oxidized form, dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), enters the brain by means of facilitative transport.

Anti-oxidant effect of ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acids in hippocampal slice culture.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ascorbic acid (AA) and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) have been shown to have protective effects as anti-oxidants in experimental neurological disorder models such as stroke, ischemia, and epileptic seizures. The present study was conducted to examine the protective effects of AA and DHA on kainic acid

Dehydroascorbic Acid Attenuates Ischemic Brain Edema and Neurotoxicity in Cerebral Ischemia: An in vivo Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ischemic stroke results in the diverse phathophysiologies including blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption, brain edema, neuronal cell death, and synaptic loss in brain. Vitamin C has known as the potent anti-oxidant having multiple functions in various organs, as well as in brain. Dehydroascorbic

Dehydroascorbic acid prevents oxidative cell death through a glutathione pathway in primary astrocytes.

Ascorbic acid (AA) is a well-known antioxidant. It also has pro-oxidant effects, however, in the presence of free transition metals. Because of the pro-oxidant effects of AA, dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), an oxidized form of AA, has been used as a substitute for AA. DHA has been shown recently to have

Dietary antioxidants as potential pharmacological agents for ischemic stroke.

Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and severe disability in industrialised countries and also in many developing countries. An excessive amount of free radicals is generated during cerebral ischemia, which significantly contributes to brain damage. Therefore, an increasing interest

Dehydroascorbic acid normalizes several markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in acute hyperglycemic focal cerebral ischemia in the rat.

We investigated the effect of dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), the oxidized form of vitamin C which is a superoxide scavenger, on manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), copper-zinc SOD (CuZnSOD), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) expression in a rat model of focal cerebral

Antioxidant defense of the brain: a role for astrocytes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Partially reduced forms of oxygen are produced in the brain during cellular respiration and, at accelerated rates, during brain insults. The most reactive forms, such as the hydroxyl radical, are capable of oxidizing proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Oxidative injury has been implicated in

Effect of deferoxamine on post-hypoxic-ischemic reperfusion injury of the newborn lamb heart.

Only registered users can translate articles

Post-hypoxic-ischemic (HI) reperfusion induces excess production of non-protein-bound iron (NPBI), leading to formation of the highly reactive hydroxyl radical. We investigated whether the iron-chelator deferoxamine (DFO) could reduce reperfusion injury and improve left ventricular (LV) function. We

Expression of superoxide dismutase in hyperglycemic focal cerebral ischemia in the rat.

This study investigated the possibility that hyperglycemia induces early expression of various superoxide dismutases (SOD) and nitric oxide synthases (NOS) following focal cerebral ischemia in the rat. MnSOD, CuZnSOD, nNOS and eNOS mRNA and protein expression were examined 3 h after permanent middle

Vitamin C function in the brain: vital role of the ascorbate transporter SVCT2.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ascorbate (vitamin C) is a vital antioxidant molecule in the brain. However, it also has a number of other important functions, participating as a cofactor in several enzyme reactions, including catecholamine synthesis, collagen production, and regulation of HIF-1 alpha. Ascorbate is transported
