  2. 1. The role of bacterial endotoxin in the immature brain

    Author : Saskia Eklind; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : lipopolysaccharide; hypoxia-ischemia; immature; temperature; cerebral blood flow; blood glucose; inflammation; apoptosis; microarray; preconditioning;

    Abstract : Aim: Epidemiological evidence suggests that infections may increase the vulnerability of the immature brain to further insults. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) on hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury in the immature rat brain, and to evaluate possible underlying mechanisms of increased sensitivity.

  4. 2. Inflammation and neuroprotective strategies in the immature brain after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury

    Author : Pernilla Svedin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : hypoxia-ischemia; LPS; immature; brain; inflammation; NAC; melatonin; G-2mPE; MMP-9; MMP-12;

    Abstract : Perinatal brain injury, as a result of hypoxia-ischemia (HI) or infection/HI, is a major cause of acute mortality and neurological morbidity in infants and children. The mechanisms of perinatal HI are not fully understood, which makes it difficult to find effective treatment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Inflammation in the immature brain: The role of Toll like receptors

    Author : Linnea Stridh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : hypoxia-ischemia; immature brain; inflammation; innate immunity; Toll-like receptors;

    Abstract : Infection/inflammation and/or hypoxia-ischemia (HI) are major causes of perinatal brain injury. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), important components of innate immunity, have been shown to be involved in brain injury, both after infectious and endogenous, non-infectious, stimuli. READ MORE
