Melatonin attenuates sevoflurane-induced hippocampal damage and cognitive deficits in neonatal mice by suppressing CypD in parvalbumin neurons.

by SmartTots | Jan 4, 2024 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Background: Sevoflurane, a commonly administered inhaled anesthetic, is found to induce synaptic and mitochondrial damage in neonatal mice. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) changes, mediated by Cyclophilin D (CypD), are implicated in mitochondrial...

Engeletin Ameliorates Sevoflurane-Induced Cognitive Impairment by Activating PPAR-Gamma in Neonatal Mice.

by SmartTots | Jan 4, 2024 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Sevoflurane (SEV) is a commonly used anesthetic in pediatric surgery. Recent studies reported that repeated use of SEV contributes to cognitive impairment. Engeletin has been discovered to exert anti-inflammatory effects in various diseases. However, the...

Circular RNA DLGAP4 Alleviates Sevoflurane-Induced Neurotoxicity by Regulating miR-9-5p/Sirt1/BDNF Pathway.

by SmartTots | Jan 4, 2024 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Background: Sevoflurane is a widely used anesthetic in infants. However, long and repeated exposure to this drug can cause developmental neurotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of circular RNA DLGAP4 (circDLGAP4) in...

Regulation of AMPA Receptor on Propofol Induced Hippocampal Mitochondrial Injury in Neonatal Rats.

by SmartTots | Jan 4, 2024 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Objective: To investigate whether propofol can cause injury to hippocampal mitochondria in neonatal rats and the regulation of excitatory amino acid receptor AMPA receptor. Methods: Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats aged 7 days were randomly divided into...

Mechanism of Propofol-Induced Apoptosis in Neonatal Rat Oligodendrocytes.

by SmartTots | Jan 4, 2024 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of propofol-induced apoptosis in oligodendrocytes. Methods: Fortyfive neonatal (7 days old) SD rats were randomized into 3 groups (n=15) for a single intraperitoneal injection of saline (control), long chain fat...

Proteomic Analysis of Gene Expression in the Prefrontal Cortex in Infant Rhesus Macaques after Multiple Sevoflurane Exposures.

by SmartTots | Jan 4, 2024 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Purpose: Repeated exposure of infant rhesus macaques to sevoflurane induces neurotoxicity and is associated with neurocognitive impairment in later life. We aimed to investigate the effect of repeated sevoflurane exposure on the expression of proteins in the...
