In acute stage of ischemic stroke, the surrounding zone of fresh infarcts is termed penumbra, where microglia are activated in response to damaged cell-derived proinflammatory mediators. Rescuing penumbra by regulating inflammatory activity would minimize infarct volume, which positively correlates
Diabetic patients are at high risk of stroke and coronary artery disease. Recent data suggest that arachidonic acid metabolism is altered in diabetic conditions and that these alterations contribute to accelerated atherosclerosis. Little is known about how these alterations affect the metabolism and
Stroke, a deleterious cerebrovascular event, is caused by a critical reduction in the blood flow to the brain parenchyma that leads to brain injury and loss of brain functions. The inflammatory responses following ischemia often aggravate the neurological damage. Several pro-inflammatory mediators
Slices of ischemic focus (infarct area) and of the contralateral frontal lobe were submitted to histological and biochemical studies. The obtained results indicate that in stroke cases the necrotic focus as well as contralateral brain hemisphere are characterized by a marked decrease of cholesterol
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
Cerebrovascular disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Inflammatory processes induce several pathological responses such as atherosclerosis, which have fundamental roles in stroke in the etiology of ischemic cerebrovascular disease and the pathophysiology of cerebral
Stroke is the second-leading cause of death worldwide and is a disabling disease of both older and younger adults. Stroke is also among the most highly preventable disorders because there are well-defined risk factors and preventatives. The establishment of new risk markers or factors for stroke
Increased levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein oxLDL) are shown to elevate the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, stroke, and myocardial infarction. This is possibly due to the toxic effects of oxLDLs on vascular cells. Various oxLDLs including
As a reductive gas, hydrogen plays an antioxidant role by selectively scavenging oxygen free radicals. It has been reported that hydrogen has protective effects against nerve damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion in stroke, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, this study aims to
OBJECTIVE
To discover, by using metabolomics, novel candidate biomarkers for stroke recurrence (SR) with a higher prediction power than present ones.
METHODS
Metabolomic analysis was performed by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry in plasma samples from an initial cohort of 131 TIA
Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a major component of oxidized low-density lipoprotein, is associated with atherosclerosis, obesity, stroke, and cancer. However, the direction and mechanism of this relationship remains unclear. In this study, we conducted RNA profiling in THP-1 derived macrophages
Finding ischemic stroke biomarker is highly desirable because it can improve diagnosis even before a patient arrives to the hospital. Metabolome is one of new technologies that help to find biomarkers. Most metabolome-related ischemic stroke studies were done in Asia and had exploratory designs.
Levels of secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2) highly increase under acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. sPLA2 is mainly associated with high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and generates bioactive lysophospholipids implicated in acute and chronic inflammatory processes. Unexpectedly,
Ischemia-mediated lipidomic changes in rat brains were explored by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) profiling and imaging after in situ desalting which drastically simplified the spectral presentation of tissue lipids. Removal of interference from the
