  6. 20. Neuroprotective effects of magnesium sulphate evaluated by fluoride resistant acid phosphatase, inorganic phosphate, lactate dehydrogenase and nitric oxide in rats with ischemia

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Maria Dorelis Montero Jimenez; [2020]
    Keywords : Biomarker; Magnesium; Neuroprotection; Respiratory arrest.;

    Abstract : Brain ischemia events are among the first three mortalities causes in the world associated with high treatments costs and in most cases some degree of permanent functional disability, thus it is necessary with new low cost and effective treatments. In the present study the potential neuroprotective effect of magnesium sulphate was evaluated by quantification of ischemic biomarkers: fluoride resistant acid phosphatase (FRAP), inorganic phosphate (Pi), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and nitric oxide (NO) in rats with global ischemia.
