Left ventricular (LV) remodeling occurs after myocardial infarction (MI), and the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to adverse LV remodeling after MI. Short-term pharmacological MMP inhibition (MMPi; days to weeks) in animal models of MI have demonstrated a reduction in adverse LV
Activation of the gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA)-ergic system might protect against the damage that occurs after cerebral ischaemia. We examined this hypothesis by administering diazepam to rats subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) using the intraluminal thread method.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the death of cardiomyocytes caused by a lack of energy due to ischemia. Nutrients supplied by the blood are the main source of cellular energy for cardiomyocytes. Sodium butyrate (NaB), a gastrointestinal nutrient, is a short-chain fatty acid (butyric acid) that
OBJECTIVE
The influence of substitution with two different amino acid solutions on changes in plasma amino acids were studied in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
METHODS
Thirty consecutive patients admitted to an intensive care unit were included in this open, nonrandomized study. The
Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 17 patients less than 3 days after brain infarction (measurement 1) and during recovery 7 +/- 2 days after infarction (measurement 2) were analysed for organic acids (energy metabolites, keto acids and amino acids). Clinical parameters improved by 32% over
The gut microbiota and its short chain fatty acid (SCFA) metabolites have been established to play an important protective role against neurodegenerative diseases. Our previous study demonstrated that cerebral ischemic stroke triggers dysfunctional gut microbiota and increased intestinal
ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the most common global causes of cardiovascular disease-related death. Several metabolites may change during STEMI. Hence, analysis of metabolites in body fluid may be considered as a rapid and accurate test for initial diagnosis. This
This study investigated the changes in extracellular chemistry during reversible human cerebral ischaemia. Delayed analysis was performed on samples taken from a subgroup of patients during aneurysm surgery previously reported. Frozen microdialysis samples from 14 patients who had all undergone
The present study tested the hypothesis that estradiol reduces tissue infarction after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in estradiol-deficient females by augmenting glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) expression and thus activity, leading to increases in gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA) tissue
The neurobiologic mechanisms underlying the recovery process following stroke are poorly understood. The present study investigated glutamatergic and gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA)-ergic receptor densities following experimental stroke in rats exposed to different environmental housing or
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ligustrazine on levels of amino acid transmitters in the extracellular fluid of striatum following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in male Sprague-Dawley rats. A microdialysis cannula guide was implanted into the right striatum. After recovery, animals
The platelet aggregation is a crucial step in a pathophisiology of thromboses, leading to development of cardio-vascular diseases (myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attacks, strokes, etc.). The final step in the aggregation is the binding of fibrinogen to receptor - glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP
Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) has been widely recognized as a therapeutic treatment for ischemic stroke, but the underlying mechanism is still elusive. Here, we investigated the protective effects of cTBS in the posterior parietal cortex during the chronic phase of stroke in the
The present study was undertaken in patients subjected to endarterectomy for extracranial carotid stenosis in order to verify the efficacy and the safety of medical treatment with indobufen (2-[4-(1-oxo-2-isoindolinyl)-phenyl] butyric acid), a drug which has been successfully used in the long-term
Butyroyloxymethyl diethylphosphate (AN-7) is a prodrug of butyric acid effective in reducing cardiotoxicity caused by chemotherapy. In this study, we tested whether AN-7 protects the heart and cardiomyocytes against ischemia injury. A single oral dose of AN-7 was given to mice or rats. Animals were
