Focal cerebral ischaemia and post-ischaemic reperfusion cause cerebral capillary
dysfunction, resulting in oedema formation and haemorrhagic conversion. There are …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) disrupt the blood—brain barrier (BBB) during reperfusion.
Occludin and claudins are recently described tight junction proteins (TJPs) that form the …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade the extracellular matrix and carry out key
functions during development and after injury. By means of zymography, Western blot and …

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity increases in the brain during the first day after
focal ischemia and might be involved in the pathogenesis of tissue damage. We previously …

Among the consequences resulting from the exposure of endothelial cells (ECs) to
ischemia/reperfusion is angiogenesis, involving degradation of vascular basement …

Background and Purpose—Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in tissue
destruction produced by the neuroinflammatory response that follows ischemic stroke. In the …

The effects of exercise pre-conditioning on lessening the impact of ischemia/reperfusion
injury provide pivotal information and potential targets for future pharmacological …

Evidence suggest that prenatal immune system disturbance contributes largely to the
pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. We investigated if maternal immune …

Exercise reduces ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury in the rat stroke model. We
investigated whether pre-ischemic exercise ameliorates blood–brain barrier (BBB) …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a large family of endopeptidases that regulate
the pericellular environment through the cleavage of protein components of the extracellular …
