Relaxin-2 Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Neuronal Apoptosis via the ERK-nNOS-NO Pathway After Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage in Rats

rh-relaxin-2 Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Neuronal Apoptosis via the ERK-nNOS-NO Pathway After Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage in Rats Academic Background Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage (GMH) is one of the most common neurological disorders in newborns, particularly in preterm infants, and is a major cause of brain injury. GMH not only triggers acute inf...

Astaxanthin Rescues Memory Impairments in Rats with Vascular Dementia by Protecting Against Neuronal Death in the Hippocampus

Astaxanthin Protects Hippocampal Neurons Against Memory Impairment Caused by Vascular Dementia in Rats Background Introduction Vascular Dementia (VAD) is a progressive cognitive disorder caused by cerebrovascular disease leading to cognitive decline. Current research shows that chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) and insufficient blood supply are ...
