...S. Murphy; C.L. Gibson Cerebral ischaemia results in the activation of three isoforms of NOS (nitric oxide synthase) that contribute to the development of and recovery from stroke pathology. This review discusses, in particular, the role of the transcriptionally activated NOS-2 (inducible NOS...

Abe Possible strategies for treating ischaemic stroke include: (i) neuroprotection (preventing damaged neurons from undergoing apoptosis in the acute phase of cerebral ischaemia), and (ii) neurosupplementation (the repair of broken...

... that regulates transcription of genes involved in apoptosis and inflammation. In a mouse model of focal cerebral ischaemia, there is an induction of the cytokine TWEAK (tumour necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis) and its membrane receptor Fn14. TWEAK promotes neuronal cell death and activates...

... as a neuroprotective agent in cerebral ischaemia. Fibrates and other non-fibrate PPARα activators as well as thiazolidinediones and other non-thiazolidinedione PPARγ agonists have been demonstrated to induce both preventive and acute neuroprotection. This neuroprotective effect involves both cerebral and vascular...
