taurine/hemorrhage

The aim of the current study was to observe the effects of simvastatin and taurine on delayed cerebral vasospasm (DCVS) following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rabbits. A total of 48 New Zealand white rabbits were allocated at random into four groups (control, SAH, SAH + simvastatin

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of taurine on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and nitric oxide products (NO2 /NO3 ) content in myocardium and plasma during shock resuscitation. METHODS Twenty-four rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups (n=8): control group, shock group, taurine group.

Despite its beneficial effects for the cardiovascular system, taurine remains a controversial substance. Taurine increases cardiac muscle strength and prevents arrhythmias, but its benefits go beyond this. Determining taurine levels may become an issue of life or death. In aneurysmal subarachnoid

OBJECTIVE The object of this study was to determine the relationship between plasma taurine and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) outcome. METHODS Forty patients with SAH and mild neurological deficits were included in this prospective, blinded cohort study. Plasma taurine levels were measured using

Intracerebral MD enables the retrieval of endogenous substances from the extracellular fluid (ECF) of the brain and has been demonstrated to be a sensitive technique for early detection of subtle vasospasm-induced neurometabolic abnormalities in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The aim

BACKGROUND Cerebral edema and delayed cerebral infarction (DCI) are common complications after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and associated with poor functional outcome. Experimental data suggest that the amino acid taurine is released into the brain extracellular space secondary to

Oxygen free radical generation contributes to the reinfusion damage after hemorrhagic shock. Taurine has been proposed to have radical scavenging properties under certain experimental conditions. Therefore the present study was undertaken to investigate if taurine would be able to attenuate adverse

OBJECTIVE Taurine (2-aminoethansulfolic amino acid) exerts neuroprotective actions in experimental stroke. Here, we investigated the effect of taurine in combination with delayed tPA (tissue-type plasminogen activator) on embolic stroke. METHODS Rats subjected to embolic middle cerebral artery

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) initiates a neuroinflammatory cascade that contributes to substantial neuronal damage and neurological deterioration. Taurine, an abundant amino acid in the nervous system, is reported to reduce inflammatory injury in various central nervous system diseases, but its

The effect of taurine on gastric hemorrhage and mucosal erosion in the brain ischemia (BI) is unknown. The aim of the research was to study the involvement of gastric oxidative stress in hemorrhagic erosion produced in BI rats. The protective effect of taurine on this erosion model was evaluated.

OBJECTIVE To approach the relationship between lung injury induced by shock/reperfusion and nitric oxide as well as the beneficial effect of taurine. METHODS Twenty four rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups (n = 8): control group, shock group, taurine group. The model of lung injury induced

Object: The aim of this study was to investigate metabolite levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in their time-dependent course after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) comparing them to patients harboring unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Methods: Eighty CSF samples of 16

OBJECTIVE Intracerebral microdialysis is a tool to monitor metabolic disturbances in the brains of patients with severe head injuries or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In the search for putative indicators of primary and secondary brain damage, we measured multiple metabolites in the dialysates of

BACKGROUND It is well known that neutrophil-derived hypochlorous acid interacts with ammonia (NH4OH) to generate monochloramine (NH2Cl) and that NH2Cl irritates the gastric mucosa and impairs ulcer healing. OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of taurine, a hypochlorous acid scavenger, on the mucosal
