Differing effects of alpha-difluoromethylornithine and CGP 40116 on polyamine levels and infarct volume in a rat model of focal cerebral ischaemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Focal cerebral ischaemia was induced in rats by occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. Two days later, infarct volume was determined by magnetic resonance imaging and the concentrations of the polyamines putrescine (PU), spermine and spermidine by HPLC. In control (occluded) animals, PU

Decrease in myocardial polyamine concentration in rats with myocardial infarction.

Cardiac polyamines are thought to protect the myocardium against harmful stimuli and to be regulated by sympathetic nerve activation. In the present study, polyamines concentrations in non-infarcted myocardium were investigated. Myocardial polyamines contents decreased significantly in the

[Changes in the specific activity and content of free nucleotides and polyamines of the infarct and pre-infarct area of the revascularized dog heart].

Only registered users can translate articles

Changes on specific radioactivity and levels of free nucleotides and polyamines in infarcted and borderline tissue of reperfused dog heart. The changes on specific radioactivity and levels of free nucleotides and polyamines, spermine and spermidine, of reperfused heart show a different behaviour of

Spermidine: A predictor for neurological outcome and infarct size in focal cerebral ischemia?

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Polyamines are mainly restricted to the intracellular space. During focal cerebral ischemia, polyamines are released from the intracellular compartment. Experimental studies have implicated a marked elevation in brain tissue and blood. The aim of our study was to investigate whether the

Experimental revascularization of acute myocardial infarction. III: Correlation between the behaviour of the free nucleotide acid solubles and some aliphatic biogenic amines.

Free nucleotide, polyamine and nucleic acid synthesis was studied in myocardial acute ischemia and reperfusion. An early stimulation of biosynthesis of these compounds was observed during ischemia, than later, a remarkable decrease of their specific radioactivity appeared. Reperfusion experiments

Akt and Erk1/2 activate the ornithine decarboxylase/polyamine system in cardioprotective ischemic preconditioning in rats: the role of mitochondrial permeability transition pores.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is the first rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, which is essential for cell survival. We hypothesized that the ODC/polyamine system is involved in ischemic preconditioning (IPC)-mediated cardioprotection through the activation of Erk1/2 and Akt and through

Effects of ifenprodil, a polyamine site NMDA receptor antagonist, on reperfusion injury after transient focal cerebral ischemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyamines and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are both thought to play an important role in secondary neuronal injury after cerebral ischemia. Ifenprodil, known as a noncompetitive inhibitor of polyamine sites at the NMDA receptor, was studied after transient focal cerebral ischemia occurred.

N(1)-(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)butane-1,4-diamine, a polyamine analogue, attenuated injury in in vitro and in vivo models of cerebral ischemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

It has been widely recognized that glutamate (Glu)-induced cytotoxicity, intracellular calcium overload and excessive free radical production are the key players in the development and progression of ischemic brain injury. Since MK-801, an antagonist of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, showed

Decrease in acrolein toxicity based on the decline of polyamine oxidases.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have shown recently that acrolein is strongly involved in cell damage during brain infarction and chronic renal failure. To study the mechanism of acrolein detoxification, we tried to isolate Neuro2a cells with reduced sensitivity to acrolein toxicity (Neuro2a-ATD cells). In one cell line,

Involvement of the ornithine decarboxylase/polyamine system in precondition-induced cardioprotection through an interaction with PKC in rat hearts.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) play an essential role in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Protein kinase C (PKC) stimulates polyamine biosynthesis through the induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), a rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis. Activation of

Dual role of polyamines in heart ischemia/reperfusion injury through regulation of mitochondrial permeability transition pore.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) are essential polycations that play important roles in various physiological and pathophysiological processes in mammalian cells. The study was to investigate their role in cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and the underlying

Polyamine and prostaglandin markers in focal cerebral ischemia.

This study examines the pathophysiology of stroke secondary to focal cerebral ischemia. The interaction of arachidonic acid metabolites and polyamines, a class of ubiquitous ornithine-derived molecules with important membrane effects on edema, Ca++-dependent endocytosis, platelet function, and

Serum levels of arginase I are associated with left ventricular function after myocardial infarction.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Upregulation of arginase redirects the arginine metabolism from nitric oxide (NO) synthesis to the formation of polyamine and proline, thus causing cardiac dysfunction. NO synthesis is also impaired by asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. We

N1-Nonyl-1,4-diaminobutane ameliorates brain infarction size in photochemically induced thrombosis model mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Inhibitors for polyamine oxidizing enzymes, spermine oxidase (SMOX) and N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase (PAOX), were designed and evaluated for their effectiveness in a photochemically induced thrombosis (PIT) mouse model. N1-Nonyl-1,4-diaminobutane (C9-4) and N1-tridecyl-1,4-diaminobutane (C13-4)

Acrolein, IL-6 and CRP as markers of silent brain infarction.

Only registered users can translate articles

We found previously that increased levels of polyamine oxidase (PAO) [acetylpolyamine oxidase (AcPAO) plus spermine oxidase (SMO)], and acrolein (CH(2)CHCHO) are good markers of stroke. We then investigated whether silent brain infarction (SBI) can be detected by measuring acrolein, PAO, or other
