Newest firstBackground Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Following the initial mechanical injury caused by hematoma expansion, a secondary injury occurs, characterized by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by NOX-2 and neuroinflammation, which is exacerbated by the upregulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. These conditions collectively aggravate brain dam…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Excitotoxicity is a process in which NADPH oxidase-2 (NOX-2) plays a pivotal role in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress influences the expression of Aquaporin 4 (AQP4), a water channel implicated in blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and edema formation. The endocannabinoid system is widely distributed in the brain, particularly through the cannabinoid receptor type 1…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Endogenous cannabinoid anandamide (AEA) protects neurons from oxidative injury in rodent models; however the mechanism of AEA-induced neuroprotection remains to be determined. Activation of neuronal NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2) contributes to oxidative damage of the brain, and inhibition of Nox2 can attenuate cerebral oxidative stress. We aimed to determine whether the neuronal Nox2 was involved in protection…
