Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is widely recognized as an independent risk factor for cerebral infarction. Research has demonstrated that hyperlipidemia contributes to cerebral infarction through multiple mechanisms, such as oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation, and insufficient collateral perfusion. Numerous studies have indicated that hyperlipidemia promotes atherosclerosis, predominantly via oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, thereby elevating the risk of cerebral infarction. This article offers a comprehensive review of recent literature on the mechanisms by which hyperlipidemia induces cerebral infarction, with a particular emphasis on the roles of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Additionally, therapeutic strategies targeting these etiologies, including lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant interventions, have been summarized for the treatment of cerebral infarction and the improvement of patient outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Neurological Sciences provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. JNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials).
JNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism.
