aspartic acid and Spinal Cord Injuries

aspartic acid has been researched along with Spinal Cord Injuries in 24 studies

Aspartic Acid: One of the non-essential amino acids commonly occurring in the L-form. It is found in animals and plants, especially in sugar cane and sugar beets. It may be a neurotransmitter.
aspartic acid : An alpha-amino acid that consists of succinic acid bearing a single alpha-amino substituent
L-aspartic acid : The L-enantiomer of aspartic acid.

Spinal Cord Injuries: Penetrating and non-penetrating injuries to the spinal cord resulting from traumatic external forces (e.g., WOUNDS, GUNSHOT; WHIPLASH INJURIES; etc.).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"More specifically, the presence of neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury is associated with significant reductions in thalamic N-acetylaspartate, gamma amino butyric acid content, and blood flow in the region of the thalamic reticular nucleus."1.40Thalamic activity and biochemical changes in individuals with neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. ( Edden, RAE; Gustin, SM; Henderson, LA; McIndoe, L; Rae, CD; Siddall, PJ; Wilcox, SL; Wrigley, PJ; Youssef, AM, 2014)
"CNS damage in pure adrenomyeloneuropathy is not confined exclusively to spinal cord and seems to primarily involve the brain."1.34Prominent brain axonal damage and functional reorganization in "pure" adrenomyeloneuropathy. ( Bramanti, P; De Luca, M; De Stefano, N; Dotti, MT; Federico, A; Formichi, P; Galluzzi, P; Marino, S; Mondelli, M; Stromillo, ML, 2007)
"After spinal cord transections at 30% BL, rhythmic burst activity usually was no longer generated by rostral hemi-spinal cords."1.33Disruption of left-right reciprocal coupling in the spinal cord of larval lamprey abolishes brain-initiated locomotor activity. ( Boyd, MR; Horinek, DF; Jackson, AW; McClellan, AD, 2005)
"Hypoxic-hypoglycemic treatment (in vitro ischemia) elicited a rapid release of the excitatory amino acids from cultured spinal cord neurons and glial cells, but the release was greater from glial cells than from neurons."1.29Role of aspartate in ischemic spinal cord damage. ( Kataoka, K; Nakamura, Y; Ogata, T; Okumura, H; Shibata, T; Tsuji, K, 1996)
"Acute spinal cord trauma may initiate a cascade of hemodynamic and biochemical events characterized by direct mechanical destruction of neurons, hemorrhages and significant increases in active substances (glutamate, prostaglandins (PGs), ets."1.29[Excitatory amino acids and prostanoids release in spinal cord injury]. ( Ishikawa, T; Marsala, M, 1996)
"To determine whether spinal cord trauma alters the concentrations of extracellular amino acids, microdialysis was conducted in spinal cord during and after administration of impact trauma."1.28Alteration in extracellular amino acids after traumatic spinal cord injury. ( Faden, AI; Panter, SS; Yum, SW, 1990)
