Role of Regular Physical Activity in Neuroprotection against Acute Ischemia

P39: The Neuroprotection Effect of Erythropoietin in Cerebral Ischemia

Cerebral ischemia causes death of millions people all over the world, annually and also suffering more people from neurological deficits and neuromuscular disorders. In our country, 250 to 300 people experience mild to severe stroke, daily. In this study we reviewed 120 original paper selected from PubMED database. Our keywords were erythropoietin, anti-inflammatory, stroke, neuropathy and cere...

Mechanisms of Neuroprotection Underlying Physical Exercise in Ischemia – Reperfusion Injury

Electroacupuncture-Induced Neuroprotection against Cerebral Ischemia in Rats: Role of the Dopamine D2 Receptor

Background. Cerebral ischemia is known to produce brain damage and related behavioural deficits, including memory deficits and motor disorders. Evidence shows that EA significantly promotes recovery of neurological function and thus improves quality of life. Objective. Evidence exists for the involvement of catecholamines in human neuroplasticity. A better understanding of dopaminergic (DAergic...

Neuroprotection and Angiogenesis: Dual Role of Erythropoietin in Brain Ischemia.

Erythropoietin, originally defined as an erythroid growth factor, is upregulated in the brain under conditions of hypoxia. So far, two functions have been identified for this locally produced cytokine: a direct protective effect on neuronal cells during cerebral ischemia and an indirect protection of brain tissue that could be provided by promoting brain vessel growth.

Acute sleep deprivation preconditions the heart against ischemia/ reperfusion injury: the role of central GABA-A receptors

Objective(s): Central γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission modulates cardiovascular functions and sleep. Acute sleep deprivation (ASD) affects functions of various body organs via different mechanisms. Here, we evaluated the effect of ASD on cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), and studied the role of GABA-A receptor inhibition in central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) by assessing nit...
