Increased Neuronal Injury in Clock Gene Per-1 Deficient-Mice after Cerebral Ischemia
1 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Transient, severe global ischemia that arises in humans as a consequence of cardiac arrest or cardiac surgery or that is induced experimentally in animals, leads to selective and delayed neuronal death, particularly in the hippocampus. Especially, in this brain structure, clock genes are rhythmically expressed, for instance the inducible and archetypical clock gene is Period1 (Per1). An eventual involvement of...
