Increased serum matrix metalloproteinase 9 levels in systemic lupus erythematosus patients with neuropsychiatric manifestations and brain magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities.
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 and myeloperoxidase expression: quantitative analysis by antigen immunohistochemistry in a model of transient focal cerebral ischemia.
These results outline the significance of the NOX and MMP9 investigation in brain ischemia and the importance of adequate vitamin D supplementation in ameliorating the injury caused by I/R.
Application of NS extract among rats with brain ischemia is associated with increase of VEGF and HIF as angiogenic markers and inhibition of matrix metallopeptidase-9 activities.
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonists induce neuroprotection following transient focal ischemia in normotensive, normoglycemic as well as hypertensive and type-2 diabetic rodents.
Chemokine (C-C motif)) ligand 2 (CCL2), which is also known as monocyte chemotactic protein-1, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain ischemia, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases.
This study demonstrates that SCs transplantation can reduce brain ischemia deficits and increase superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities.
In this study, the authors analyzed the expression pattern of interleukin-18, -1beta, and caspase-1 in focal brain ischemia induced in rats either by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion or by photothrombosis of cortical microvessels.
We investigated the relationship between Ex-4 and HIF-1α by examining Ex-4-induced changes in HIF-1α expression in the gerbil hippocampus following global brain ischemia (in vivo) and in neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) and cortical primary neurons (in vitro).
