Motor nerve terminals are known to be vulnerable to a wide range of pathological stimuli. To further characterize this vulnerability, we have developed a novel model system to examine the response of mouse motor nerve terminals in ex vivo nerve/muscle preparations to 2 h hypoxia followed by 2 h
This study examined the neuropathological changes in different areas of the brain of fetal and postnatal rats after transient maternal hypoxia. At different time intervals following hypoxia, reactive microglia as determined immunohistochemically with the antibody OX-42 that recognizes complement
OBJECTIVE
This experiment evaluated the perinatal hypoxic effect on the retina of offspring of the ovoviviparous fish.
METHODS
The ovoviviparous fish Xiphophorous maculates was used for the experiment.
METHODS
The mothers were kept in a hypoxic environment of 3.5% oxygen for 6 h, starting 30 h
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases seen in clinical practice. Cartilage survives in the hypoxic microenvironment. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a key nuclear transcription factor which mediates the hypoxic response of cells. HIF-1α gene is an important regulator for the
Infant monkeys have been subjected to hypoxia with an arterial pO2 of 20-22 Torr for 30 min. Following perfusion 1-2 weeks later electron microscopy of the motor cortex shows a selective degeneration of axon terminals making symmetrical synapses and which probably arise from inhibitory GABAergic
Neurons grown in cultures of dissociated brain cells degenerate when exposed to anoxia and deprived of glucose. We have developed culture systems in which neurons can be grown in the presence or absence of astrocytes and have used them to study the influence of astrocytes on the neuronal
The selective degeneration of dendrites precedes neuronal cell death in hypoxia-ischemia (HI) and is a neuropathological hallmark of stroke. While it is clear that a number of different molecular pathways likely contribute to neuronal cell death in HI, the mechanisms that govern HI-induced dendrite
The transforming growth factors-beta (TGFs-beta) are multifunctional peptide growth factors that have been localized in neuronal and glial cells of the CNS of mice, rats, and chick embryos. We tested the TGF-beta isoforms 1, 2, and 3 for their protective effects against neuronal degeneration caused
BACKGROUND
Short-term intermittent hypoxia (IH) is common in patients with acute respiratory disorders. Although prolonged exposure to hypoxia induces atrophy and increased fatigability of skeletal muscle, the response to short-term IH is less well known. We hypothesized that the diaphragm and limb
BACKGROUND
In skeletal muscle, transcript levels of proteins regulating the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) increase with atrophy and decrease with hypertrophy. Whether the same is true for heart muscle is not known.
OBJECTIVE
We set out to characterize the transcriptional profile of regulators of
PurposeMorphological retinal changes combined with functional evidence implicate hypoxia in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, the role of hypoxia in the scotopic threshold deficit reported in AMD has not been investigated. This study compared scotopic thresholds in
Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) attenuates baroreflex control of heart rate (HR). In this study, we assessed whether CIH exposure reduced nucleus ambiguus (NA) control of HR and induced neural degeneration in the NA. Fischer 344 (age: 3-4 months) rats were exposed to either room air (RA:
Hyper- but not normoglycemic cats exposed to 8 min of anoxia show neurologic signs (fasciculations, myoclonic jerks, seizures) that develop after a symptom-free period. We examined brain mitochondrial function and metabolite concentrations at 0, 1, 3, and 5 h following exposure to anoxia, to
Immobilization results in thinning of the articular cartilage and cartilage degeneration, although the exact mechanisms are not clear yet. Hypoxia is thought to contribute to the degeneration of articular cartilage. We investigated the roles of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha, vascular
BACKGROUND
There is evidence that chronic local ischemia may be one possible etiology of prostatic atrophy (PA). Our aim was to study the expression of hypoxia induced factors in areas of PA.
METHODS
The immunohistochemical expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1) and vascular
