Abstract

Estrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women is associated with a decreased mortality and morbidity from stroke. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of estrogen on endothelial cell glucose transporter 1 (GLUT 1) and on the cell viability during focal ischemia in a rat model. Female rats were ovariectomized (OVX) and 2 weeks later 17beta-estradiol (E2) was injected subcutaneously at a dose of 100 microg/kg 2 h before unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. Ischemic lesion size was quantified using 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining and GLUT 1 protein was analyzed by Western blotting. E2 treatment decreased ischemic lesion size in slices taken at 9 and 11 mm posterior from the olfactory bulb by 46.3% and 44.1%, respectively (P < 0.05). GLUT 1 protein decreased in both OVX and E2 groups by 24.6% and 22.7% respectively (P < 0.05) compared with the non-lesioned side in the core ischemic region, including the basal ganglia. GLUT 1 protein was increased in the E2-treated group compared with the control group (23.3%, P < 0.05) in the penumbral ischemic region of the cortex. Primary rat brain capillary endothelial cell (BCEC) cultures were established as an in vitro model for i...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
