The role of reactive oxygen-induced oxidative damage to lipids (i.e., lipid peroxidation, LP) and proteins has been strongly supported in previous work. Most notably, a number of free radical scavengers and lipid antioxidants have been demonstrated t

The resulting neuropathological degeneration that occurs following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a consequence of both immediate and secondary neurochemical sequelae. Proteolysis of cytoskeletal proteins, triggered by calcium-mediated events, is

The authors present two studies that investigate the biochemical and histologic effects of the nonimmunosuppressive neuroimmunophilin (NIMM) ligand V-10,367 in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury (TBI). In study 1, the authors examined the effect

Recently, it was shown that conversion of cdk5 activator protein p35 to a C-terminal fragment p25 promotes a deregulation of cdk5 activity, which may contribute to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. In this study, we present evidence that calp

This study was performed to investigate whether the anticonvulsant phenytoin has neuroprotective effect in a model of hypoxia-ischemia with neonatal rats. The left carotid artery of each rat was ligated, followed by 3 h of hypoxic exposure (8% O2) in

We used a polyclonal antiserum directed against calpain II to study the distribution of that enzyme in rat sciatic nerve. Western blot of nerve homogenate showed that the antibody reacted with a single protein band of 80 kDa, corresponding to the cat

Previous studies indicated there is an overall increase of proteolysis in aging rat brains. We monitored the potential degradation of cytoskeletal proteins in neuronal tissue taken from cerebral cortex and cerebellum of young (3 month) and aging (17,

A principal mechanism of calcium-mediated neuronal injury is the activation of neutral proteases known as calpains. Proteolytic substrates for calpain include receptor and cytoskeletal proteins, signal transduction enzymes and transcription factors.

Recent evidence has suggested that the superoxide and nitric oxide-derived reactive oxygen species peroxynitrite (ONOO-) may play a significant role in the acute pathophysiology of brain injury. One pharmacological mechanism by which ONOO(-)-mediated

The ICE family of cysteine proteases mediates necrotic or apoptotic events in the nervous system as well as in other tissues. This suggests that inhibitors may be of therapeutic value in acute and, perhaps, chronic neurode-generative disease. In addi
