Biochemical changes in the injured brain

Biochemical changes in the injured brain

Brain metabolism is an energy intensive phenomenon involving a wide spectrum of chemical intermediaries. Various injury states have a detrimental effect on the biochemical processes involved in the homeostatic and electrophysiological properties of the brain. The biochemical markers of brain injury are a recent addition in the armamentarium of neuro-clinicians and are being increasingly used in...

Compensatory Neurogenesis in the Injured Adult Brain

Post treatment effect of Grewia asiatica against radiation induced biochemical changes in brain of Swiss albino mice

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the radioprotective effect of Grewia asiatica fruit pulp extract (GAE) on Swiss albino mice exposed to gamma radiation. In the present study radioprotective efficacy of Grewia asiatica (rich in anthocyanin, carotenes, vitamin C, etc.) was studied against radiation induced biochemical alterations in mice cerebrum. Materials and Methods: Fo...

Biochemical Changes in Burns

Background: Burns are the second leading cause of death resulting from childhood injuries. It is estimated that there are approximately 3,000 pediatric deaths annually due to burns and probably three times as many disabling injuries. Liver is one of the major organs affected by thermal injury. Objective of the study was to measure liver enzymes and serum electrolytes. Results: In the present st...
