1. Stroke is the neurological evidence of a critical reduction of cerebral blood flow in a
circumscribed part of the brain, resulting from the sudden or gradually progressing …

Emerging evidence suggests that aquaporin (AQP) 4 water channels play an important role
in water homeostasis in the brain. These water channels are most abundant in the cell …

Object The present study investigated the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α),
aquaporin-4 (AQP-4), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in blood-brain barrier (BBB) …

Background: Although neuromyelitis optica has been traditionally regarded as a disease
without brain involvement, brain abnormalities are not uncommon in patients with …

This study investigates whether progesterone administration regulates AQP4 and GFAP
expression in rats with bilateral contusion injuries of the medial frontal cortex. Male rats were …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the thickness of the inner retinal layers in the macula using
frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (fd-OCT) in patients with demyelinating …

Down syndrome (DS) is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 and is characterized by
mental retardation, seizures and premature Alzheimer's disease. To examine …

The current research aimed to investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α),
aquaporin-4 (AQP-4), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in blood–brain barrier (BBB) …

Previous studies have demonstrated that traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes brain edema via
aquaporins (AQPs), the water-transporting proteins. In the present study, we determined the …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane water channel proteins that control osmotically-
driven water transport across cell membranes. Recent studies have focused on the …
