dopa decarboxylase/stroke

The potential role of adrenaline, both circulating and in the central nervous system, in the maintenance of high blood pressure was examined in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). alpha-Monofluoromethyldopa, a long-lasting inhibitor of dopa decarboxylase, was used to induce rapid

Marked advances in the treatment of neurological disorders which affect the elderly have been established in recent years. Cerebrovascular disorders including stroke and vascular dementia are still among the most frequent diseases in the Japanese elderly. For treatment of hypertensive patients with

The prevalence of Parkinson's disease rises with age. The clinical features can be the typical ones or those associated with the "late-onset" type, with more gait and balance problems and a mild progressive dementia. Other disorders, such as stroke and essential tremor, may be mistaken for

After ischemic stroke, cell damage propagates from infarct core to surrounding tissues (penumbra). To reveal proteins involved in neurodegeneration and neuroprotection in penumbra, we studied protein expression changes in 2-mm ring around the core of photothrombotic infarct induced in the rat brain
