Reactive Oxygen Species in Metabolic and Inflammatory Signaling.

TL;DR: The role of ROS in the regulation metabolic/inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and stroke is highlighted and the balance ROS signaling plays in both physiology and pathophysiology is understood.

The Pharmacological Potential of Rutin.

TL;DR: The present review highlights current information and health-promoting effects of rutin and safety pharmacology issues and SAR of the same have also been discussed.

Stroke and the immune system: from pathophysiology to new therapeutic strategies

TL;DR: Development of novel and effective therapeutic strategies for stroke will require further investigation of pathways in the immune system and inflammatory responses in terms of their temporal profile (before, during, and after stroke) and risk-to-benefit therapeutic ratio of modulating them.

The role of extracellular histone in organ injury

TL;DR: Drugs that block the release of histone, neutralise circulating histone or block histone signal transduction provide significant protection from mortality in animal models of acute organ injury but warrant further research to inform future clinical applications.

Angiogenesis, neurogenesis and neuroplasticity in ischemic stroke.

TL;DR: These findings suggest that blood vessels play an important role as a scaffold for NPCs migration toward the damaged brain region, and the origin of newly formed vessels and the pathogenic role of neovascularization and neurogenesis are important unresolved issues in the understanding of the mechanisms after stroke.

Neuroprotection by Aspirin and Sodium Salicylate Through Blockade of NF-κB Activation

TL;DR: At concentrations compatible with amounts in plasma during chronic anti-inflammatory therapy, acetylsalicylic acid and its metabolite sodium salicylate were found to be protective against neurotoxicity elicited by the excitatory amino acid glutamate in rat primary neuronal cultures and hippocampal slices.

Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression Increases After Cerebral Focal Ischemia in Rats: Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Reduces Infarct Size

TL;DR: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes that degrade the extracellular matrix and are implicated in numerous pathological conditions including at...

Syndromes of accelerated atherosclerosis: role of vascular injury and smooth muscle cell proliferation.

TL;DR: The role of vascular injury in the pathogenesis of spontaneous and accelerated atherosclerosis, and the resultant cellular pathophysiologic responses, specifically, lipid accumulation, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation and smooth muscle cell proliferation, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-vesicular release of glutamate from glial cells by reversed electrogenic glutamate uptake

TL;DR: It is reported that raising the potassium concentration around glial cells evokes an outward current component produced by reversed glutamate uptake, which may contribute to the neurotoxic rise in extracellular glutamate concentration during brain anoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Swelling-induced release of glutamate, aspartate, and taurine from astrocyte cultures

TL;DR: The swelling-induced release of label was inhibited by a number of anion transport inhibitors, one of which has been shown to significantly improve outcome in an experimental brain trauma/hypoxia model in which astrocyte swelling is an early event.
