Hydrogen-rich saline alleviates early brain injury through regulating of ER stress and autophagy after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage

Acta cir. bras; 36 (8), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common complication of cerebral vascular disease. Hydrogen has been reported to alleviate early brain injury (EBI) through oxidative stress injury, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and autophagy. Autophagy is a programmed cell death mechanism that plays...

The neuroprotection of cerebrolysin after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage through regulates necroptosis via Akt/ GSK3B signaling pathway

Acta cir. bras; 36 (10), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a major cause of death and disability with a huge economic burden worldwide. Cerebrolysin (CBL) has been previously used as a nootropic drug. Necroptosis is a programmed cell death mechanism that plays a vital role in neuronal cell death af...

Ethanolic Extract of the Red Algae Meristiella echinocarpa (Areschoug) Confers Neuroprotection in Mice

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of the ethanolic extract obtained from red algae marine Meristiella echinocarpa (Areschougiaceae) – EEMe. Methods: EEMe was used in doses ranging from 10 to 40 mg/kg, administered intraperitoneally in mice. Behavioral tests were pe...

Neuroprotective effects of zonisamide on cerebral ischemia injury via inhibition of neuronal apoptosis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (4), 2021
It is known that neuronal apoptosis contributes to pathology of cerebral ischemia injury. Zonisamide (ZNS) has shown anti-apoptosis effects in recent studies. The present study investigated whether the anti-apoptotic effect can account for the neuroprotective action of ZNS on cerebral ischemia. Neuronal ...

Morphometric analysis and pattern of protein and gene expression of apoptosis in focal cerebral ischemia in rats and the neuroprotetive action of hypothermia and ketoprofen

Int. j. morphol; 38 (3), 2020
This study aimed to investigate the morphometric and the pattern of protein and gene expression related to the extrinsic apoptotic pathway in experimental focal cerebral ischemia and the hole of neuroprotection with hypothermia and ketoprofen. For this analysis, 120 rats were randomly divided into 3 grou...

Biological bases for a possible effect of cannabidiol in Parkinson's disease

Current pharmacotherapy of Parkinson's disease (PD) is palliative and unable to modify the progression of neurodegeneration. Treatments that can improve patients' quality of life with fewer side effects are needed, but not yet available. Cannabidiol (CBD), the major non-psychotomimetic constituent of can...

The effect of rosmarinic acid on deformities occurring in brain tissue by craniectomy method. Histopathological evaluation of IBA-1 and GFAP expressions

Acta cir. bras; 35 (4), 2020
Abstract Purpose To investigate the role of Rosmarinic acid (RA) in the prevention of traumatic brain injury and the immunohistochemical analysis of IBA-1 and GFAP expressions. Methods Healthy male rats were randomly divided into 3 groups consisting of 10 rats. Groups were as follows; control group, tr...

Neuroprotective natural products: promising candidates against neurodegenerative diseases

Neurodegeneration is a progressive loss of neurons both structurally and functionally causing neuronal cell death ultimately leading to development of various neurodegenerative diseases. Due to poor pharmacokinetic profile of neurotrophins, there still remains a challenge in their...

Neuroprotective Effect of Isobenzofuranones on Hydrogen Peroxide-Mediated Redox Imbalance in Primary Cultures of Hippocampal Neurons

Abstract In live organisms, there is a balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their neutralization. The increased level of these species leads to a condition called redox imbalance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective action of isobenzofuranones in primary cu...

Neuroprotective and MAOB inhibitory effects of a series of caffeine-8-thioglycolic acid amides

The effects of new derivatives of caffeine-8-thioglycolic acid (100 µM) on isolated rat brain synaptosomes, human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y and human recombinant MAOB enzyme (hMAOB) (1 µM) were evaluated. Most of the compounds, administered alone, didn't show statistically significant neurotoxic ...
