There are 750,000 new cases of stroke each year in the United States, and brain damage from stroke leads to high health care costs and disabilities. Needed, but currently not available, are therapies that can be administered prior to, during, or after cerebral ischemia that reduce or eliminate
Recent studies in several animal models have suggested that estrogen, given for the short term, may protect ischemic myocardium. Our objective was to test the effect of exogenous estradiol on the development of myocardial necrosis. Twenty minutes before coronary occlusion, rabbits were given an IV
Although several studies have demonstrated that chronic exposure to estrogen appears to be cardioprotective, acute circulatory effects of estrogen are largely unknown. Therefore, we studied the effects of acute administration of 17 beta-estradiol in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. Cats were
The study of oxidative contributions to aging has reached sufficient maturity to support the development of interventional strategies designed to forestall or reverse protein cross-linking, oxidation of DNA and lipids, and mitochondrial senescence associated with chronic pathology and aging.
