eflornithine and Brain Ischemia

eflornithine has been researched along with Brain Ischemia in 8 studies

Eflornithine: An inhibitor of ORNITHINE DECARBOXYLASE, the rate limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway.
eflornithine : A fluoroamino acid that is ornithine substituted by a difluoromethyl group at position 2.

Brain Ischemia: Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. This frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (HYPOXIA, BRAIN). Prolonged ischemia is associated with BRAIN INFARCTION.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We produced cerebral ischemia in rats and measured BBB opening 6 h later as the increase in regional transfer constants (Ki) for blood to brain diffusion of [3H]sucrose."1.30Lack of evidence for direct involvement of NMDA receptors or polyamines in blood-brain barrier injury after cerebral ischemia in rats. ( Palmer, GC; Preston, E; Webster, J, 1998)
"We have shown that transient cerebral ischemia gives rise to increased ODC mRNA and enzyme activity in the gerbil brain."1.29Blockade of ornithine decarboxylase enzyme protects against ischemic brain damage. ( Dempsey, RJ; Hu, Y; Kindy, MS, 1994)
