cerebroside/infarction

Epidemiological studies demonstrate a possible relationship between chronic ethanol drinking and thrombotic diseases, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. However, the precise mechanism for this association remains unclear. Sulfatides are endogenous glycosphingolipids composed of ceramide,

Excessive presynaptic glutamate release after cerebral ischaemia leads to neuronal death mainly through excessive calcium entry of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs). Our recent study reported that cerebroside can open large-conductance Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ (BKCa) channels. The present study

BACKGROUND Compound porcine cerebroside and ganglioside injection (CPCGI) is a neurotrophic drug used clinically to treat certain functional disorders of brain. Despite its extensive usage throughout China, the exact mechanistic targets of CPCGI are unknown. This study was carried out to investigate

Slices of ischemic focus (infarct area) and of the contralateral frontal lobe were submitted to histological and biochemical studies. The obtained results indicate that in stroke cases the necrotic focus as well as contralateral brain hemisphere are characterized by a marked decrease of cholesterol

The composition, structure and localization of neutral glycosphingolipids of human aorta taken from subjects who had died after myocardial infarction were studied. Individual glycosphingolipids were purified by high-performance liquid chromatography and were characterized on the basis of their

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of death in industrialized countries. One of the most significant risk factors for atherosclerosis is hypercholesterolemia. Its diagnostics is based on routine lipid profile analysis, including the determination of total cholesterol, low and

The current study used a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model with the aim to explore the effects of compound porcine cerebroside and ganglioside injection (CPCGI) on brain ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats. Improvement in the infarct‑side microcirculation and the overall recovery of

Lipid metabolism disorders are the most significant risk factor of development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In the process of diagnosing ischemic heart disease and other cardiovascular pathologies, levels of total cholesterol, low- and high- density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides are

BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that olive extracts suppress inflammation and reduce stress oxidative injury. We have attempted to determine the effect of dietary olive leaf extract (OLE) on brain lipidomics in rat stroke model. METHODS Five groups, each consisting of 12 male Wistar rats, were

Recent investigations have demonstrated that normobaric hyperoxia induces neuroprotection against ischemic injury. The aim of study was to determine the survey of HO (hyperoxia) preconditioning on brain lipidome.The animals were assigned into three groups, the first experimental group was exposed to

Introduction: Sphingolipids are a diverse class of lipids with various roles in cell functions and subclasses such as ceramides have been associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in previous studies.
