Changing the Face of Kynurenines and Neurotoxicity: Therapeutic Considerations
Kynurenines are the products of tryptophan metabolism. Among them, kynurenine and kynurenic acid are generally thought to have neuroprotective properties, while 3-hydroxykynurenine, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid and quinolinic acid are considered neurotoxic. They participate in immunoregulation and inflammation and possess pro- or anti-excitotoxic properties, and their involvement in oxidative stre...
متن کاملStructure-related inhibition of calmodulin-dependent neuronal nitric-oxide synthase activity by melatonin and synthetic kynurenines.
We recently described that melatonin and some kynurenines modulate the N-methyl-D-aspartate-dependent excitatory response in rat striatal neurons, an effect that could be related to their inhibition of nNOS. In this report, we studied the effect of melatonin and these kynurenines on nNOS activity in both rat striatal homogenate and purified rat brain nNOS. In homogenates of rat striatum, melato...
متن کاملEffects of some synthetic kynurenines on brain amino acids and nitric oxide after pentylenetetrazole administration to rats.
We have previously proven that some synthetic kynurenines behave as antagonists of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor inhibiting neuronal subtype of nitric oxide synthase activity. We now investigate the anticonvulsant activity of four of these kynurenines in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-treated rats. The rats were treated with each kynurenine (10-160 mg/kg, s.c.) 30 min before PTZ administration (1...
متن کاملThe Role of Intestinal Microbiota in Cognitive Disorders
Cognitive disorders are one of the major public health issues in older population worldwide. Problems in forming and storing new memories, short-term memory impairment, and other cognitive problems are common symptoms of cognitive disorders that have no definite treatment yet. Recent studies have shown an association between gut microbiota and cognitive impairments described as microbiota-gut-...
متن کاملP80: The Effects of Progesterone Receptors\' Antagonist RU-486 on BrainEdema, Intracranial Pressure and Neurological Outcomes after Traumatic Brain Injury
In previous studies, the neuroprotective effect of progestrone in diffuse traumatic brain injury has been shown. This study used mifepristone (RU-486), a potent progesterone receptor antagonist, to evaluatethe hypothesis that the neuroprotective effect of progesterone in traumatic brain injury is mediated by the progesterone receptors. The ovariectomized rats were divided into 6 groups. Brain i...
متن کاملDoes inhibition of angiotensin function cause neuroprotection in diffuse traumatic brain injury?
Objective(s): Neuroprotection is created following the inhibition of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R). Therefore, the purpose of this research was examining AT1R blockage by candesartan in diffuse traumatic brain injury (TBI). Materials and Methods: Male rats were assigned into sham, TBI, vehicle, and candesartan groups. Candesartan (0.3 mg/kg) or vehicle was administered IP, 30 min post-T...
