Pharmacologically augmented S-nitrosylated hemoglobin improves recovery from murine subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Journal article Stroke · February 2011 Featured Publication BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: S-nitrosylated hemoglobin (S-nitrosohemoglobin) has been implicated in the delivery of O(2) to tissues through the regulation of microvascular blood flow. This study tested the hypothesis that enhancement of S-nitrosylated hemoglobi ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Development of a simplified spinal cord ischemia model in mice.

Journal article J Neurosci Methods · June 15, 2010 Featured Publication Use of genetically manipulated mice facilitates understanding pathological mechanisms in many diseases and contributes to therapy development. However, there is no practical and clinically relevant mouse model available for spinal cord ischemia. This repor ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Long-term neuroprotection from a potent redox-modulating metalloporphyrin in the rat.

Journal article Free Radic Biol Med · October 1, 2009 Featured Publication Sustained oxidative stress is a known sequel to focal cerebral ischemia. This study examined the effects of treatment with a single dose or sustained infusion of the redox-modulating MnPorphyrin Mn(III)TDE-2-ImP(5+) on outcome from middle cerebral artery o ...

Effects of metalloporphyrin catalytic antioxidants in experimental brain ischemia.

Journal article Free Radic Biol Med · October 1, 2002 Featured Publication Reactive oxygen species play a role in the response of brain to ischemia. The effects of metalloporphyrin catalytic antioxidants (AEOL 10113 and AEOL 10150) were examined after murine middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Ninety minutes after reperfusio ...

Mice overexpressing extracellular superoxide dismutase have increased resistance to focal cerebral ischemia.

Journal article Neuroscience · January 1999 Featured Publication Transgenic mice, which had been transfected with the human extracellular superoxide dismutase gene, causing an approximate five-fold increase in brain parenchymal extracellular superoxide dismutase activity, were used to investigate the role of extracellul ...
