Abstract:We have studied CD38, Cx43 expression in rat brain cells after perinatal hypoxic-ischemic injury. We found regulation of CD38 by modulators of metabolism of endogenous retinoic acid or by exogenous retinoic acid and Cx43 by glycirretinoic acid. Possibility to use the data for development of pharmacological method of neuroprotection is discussed.To elicit hypoxic-ischemic perinatal brain injury, 7-day-old perinatal (P7) rats (n = 40) were subjected to right carotid artery ligation followed 1 h of 8% oxygen expo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
