Abstract

Smoking-derived nicotine (N) and oral contraceptives (OC) synergistically exacerbate ischemic brain damage in the females and underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Our published study showed that N toxicity is exacerbated by OC via altered mitochondrial function owing to a defect in the activity of cytochrome c oxidase. Here, we investigated the global metabolomic profile of brains of adolescent female Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to N ± OC. Rats were randomly exposed to saline or N + /-OC for 16-21 days followed by random allocation into two cohorts. One cohort underwent transient middle cerebral artery occlusion and histopathology was performed 30 days later. From the second cohort, cortical tissues were collected for an unbiased global metabolomic profile. Pathway enrichment analysis showed significant decrease in glucose, glucose 6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate, along with a significant increase in pyruvate in the N + /-OC exposed groups when compared to saline (p < 0.05), suggesting alterations in the glycolytic pathway which were confirmed by Western blot analyses of glycolytic enzymes. Infarct volume quantification showed a significant increase following N alone or N + OC as compared to saline control. Because glucos...Continue Reading

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
