Brain-targeting form of docosahexaenoic acid for experimental stroke treatment: MRI evaluation and anti-oxidant impact.

Only registered users can translate articles

Epidemiologic studies report cardiovascular protection conferred by omega-3 fatty acids, in particular docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, few experimental studies have addressed its potential in acute stroke treatment. The present study used multimodal MRI to assess in vivo the neuroprotection

Suppressive action of docosahexaenoic acid enriched-Euglena on reduction of endothelium-dependent relaxation in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP).

Only registered users can translate articles

Stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) were fed a diet containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-enriched Euglena glacilis (DHA-Euglena) as the protein source from 5 weeks of age. The effects on endothelial functions were investigated by perfusion experimentation using mesenteric

[Antihypertensive effect of docosahexaenoic acid in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats].

Only registered users can translate articles

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an n-3 unsaturated fatty acid derived from fish oils. The precise mechanisms of DHA actions are still obscure. Especially, the antihypertensive effect of DHA has not yet been elucidated. Stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) provide the best available

Ameliorative effects of docosahexaenoic acid on serum lipid changes in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

It has been shown that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has numerous physiological actions. However, the precise mechanism of these actions is still obscure, and DHA is not yet regarded as a drug. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the effects of long-term administration of DHA on the serum

Docosahexaenoic acid complexed to human albumin in experimental stroke: neuroprotective efficacy with a wide therapeutic window.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) complexed to human serum albumin (Alb) is neuroprotective after experimental stroke. Here we tested using lower concentrations of albumin as part of the complex to achieve neuroprotection. We found that lower Alb concentrations extend the therapeutic window of

Docosahexaenoic acid signaling modulates cell survival in experimental ischemic stroke penumbra and initiates long-term repair in young and aged rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Docosahexaenoic acid, a major omega-3 essential fatty acid family member, improves behavioral deficit and reduces infarct volume and edema after experimental focal cerebral ischemia. We hypothesize that DHA elicits neuroprotection by inducing AKT/p70S6K phosphorylation, which in turn

Docosahexaenoic acid inhibits blood viscosity in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Increased blood viscosity facilitates the formation of thrombosis. This is an important risk factor in the occurrence of cerebral infarctions. The present study was undertaken to elucidate whether docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) inhibits blood viscosity, hematocrit and fibrinogen in the disease animal

Effects of dietary docosahexaenoic acid on survival time and stroke-related behavior in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

1. Dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) suppressed the age-dependent increase in systolic blood pressure and prolonged the average survival time of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). 2. Dietary DHA (1% and 5% in diets) altered the circadian rhythm of SHRSP, causing significant

Dietary docosahexaenoic acid increases cerebral acetylcholine levels and improves passive avoidance performance in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have recently shown that inferior performance in passive avoidance task is accompanied with decreased hippocampal choline (Ch) in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) compared with normotensive control Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). We also reported that dietary docosahexaenoic acid

Age Stratification and Impact of Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid to Arachidonic Acid Ratios in Ischemic Stroke Patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE We focused on the ratios of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to arachidonic acid (AA) and explored the significance of these ratios relative to clinical characteristics by age in ischemic stroke patients. METHODS We enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke who

Dietary docosahexaenoic acid inhibits neurodegeneration and prevents stroke

Only registered users can translate articles

Stroke severely impairs quality of life and has a high mortality rate. On the other hand, dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) prevents neuronal damage. In this review, we describe the effects of dietary DHA on ischemic stroke-associated neuronal damage and its role in stroke prevention. Recent

Docosahexaenoic acid complexed to albumin provides neuroprotection after experimental stroke in aged rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Recently we have shown that docosahexaenoic acid complexed to albumin (DHA-Alb) is neuroprotective after experimental stroke in young rats. The purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment with DHA-Alb would be protective in aged rats after focal cerebral ischemia. Isoflurane/nitrous

Delayed Docosahexaenoic Acid Treatment Combined with Dietary Supplementation of Omega-3 Fatty Acids Promotes Long-Term Neurovascular Restoration After Ischemic Stroke.

Only registered users can translate articles

Prophylactic dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) has been shown to remarkably ameliorate ischemic brain injury. However, the therapeutic efficacy of n-3 PUFA administration post-stroke, especially its impact on neurovascular remodeling and long-term neurological

Docosahexaenoic Acid therapy of experimental ischemic stroke.

Only registered users can translate articles

We examined the neuroprotective efficacy of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 essential fatty acid family member, in acute ischemic stroke; studied the therapeutic window; and investigated whether DHA administration after an ischemic stroke is able to salvage the penumbra. In each series

Plasma phospholipid fatty acid composition in ischemic stroke: importance of docosahexaenoic acid in the risk for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE While data on the relationship between fatty acid (FA) composition and the risk for total stroke have accumulated, the association between FA composition and the risk for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) has never been studied. We compared plasma phospholipid FA composition
