Abstract
The levels of inflammatory markers increased in both mouse blood plasma and affected brain area 24 days after traumatic brain injury, which was accompanied by impairment of spatial working memory. Methylene blue administered during the first 3 days after injury reduced the levels of some inflammation markers and increased the expression of genes involved in the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy, i.e. genes responsible for mitochondrial quality control. Additionally, methylene blue partially mitigated the cognitive deficits induced by the injury, suggesting it as a promising compound for maintaining brain function after traumas.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
