Jw. Lazarewicz et al., PROTECTION AGAINST POSTISCHEMIC NEURONAL LOSS IN GERBIL HIPPOCAMPAL CA1 BY GLYCINE(B) AND AMPA ANTAGONISTS, Journal of neural transmission, 104(11-12), 1997, pp. 1249-1254
Novel antagonists of the glycine, site of the NMDA receptor (MRZ 2/570
, MRZ 2/576), and an AMPA receptor antagonist, NBQX were tested in 3-m
in. global ischaemia in gerbils. Untreated animals showed after 14 day
s a loss of almost 90% of pyramidal neurones in the CA1 region, which
was prevented by NBQX, and reduced to 50% by both glycine, antagonists
. NBQX produced a delayed, long lasting (up to 24 hr) hypothermia whil
e hypothermia with both glycine(B) antagonists was transient.
