Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate is neuroprotective in a reversible spinal cord ischemia model: possible involvement of GABA(A) receptors.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA sulfate (DHEAS) may function as neurotrophic or neuroprotective factors to protect central nervous system (CNS) neurons against a variety of insults, including excitotoxicity. The present study evaluated the pharmacological effects of DHEAS in a reversible spinal cord ischemia model. METHODS DHEAS was administered (50 mg/kg IV) 5 o...
متن کاملNeuroprotective effect of atorvastatin in spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury
OBJECTIVES Prevention of the development of paraplegia during the repair of the damage caused by descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms remains an important issue. Therefore, we investigated the protective effect of atorvastatin on ischemia-induced spinal cord injury in a rabbit model. METHOD Thirty-two rabbits were divided into the following four equally sized groups: group I (co...
متن کاملSpinal cord ischemia. Development of a model in the mouse.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spinal cord ischemia with resulting paraplegia is a devastating complication of thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. Experimental models of spinal cord ischemia have been developed in primate, dog, pig, rabbit, and rat with variable reproducibility, but none has been developed in mouse. Because genetically engineered mice have become important to examine the impact of specifi...
متن کاملDehydroepiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate: anabolic, neuroprotective, and neuroexcitatory properties in military men.
Evidence links dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) to crucial military health issues, including operational stress, resilience, and traumatic brain injury. This study evaluated the anabolic, neuroprotective, and neuroexcitatory properties of DHEA(S) in healthy military men. A salivary sample was obtained from 42 men and assayed for DHEA(S), testosterone, ner...
متن کاملIs reversible enlargement of the spinal cord a presyrinx state?
Mechanisms of syrinx formation have long attracted interest and speculation. Until recently, most believed that syringomyelia was caused by a forceful diversion of CSF from the fourth ventricle into the central canal of the spinal cord attributed to either obstruction of the outlets of the fourth ventricle (1) or the development of a pressure gradient between the intracranial and intraspinal co...
