Sentences with phrase «infarct area»

Progesterone significantly reduces infarct area, lipid peroxidation levels and activity of myeloperoxidase in myocardial ischemia / reperfusion injury.

GCSF and hypoxia inducible factor - 1α (HIF - 1α) have been shown to up - regulate SDF - 1α in the infarcted area in a rabbit ischemia model and promote the migration of CXCR4 expressing cells towards cardiac tissues [47 - 49].

Following coronary artery occlusion, SDF - 1α level is increased in the infarcted area, resulting in the recruitment of progenitor cells expressing CXCR4 for post-infarct repair [47].

These structural changes occur in two steps: in the early phase (within 72 hours of acute ischemia), serine proteases and activated matrix metallo - proteases act to degrade the extracellular matrix resulting in expansion of the infarcted area.

It has been demonstrated that MSCs injected into the infarcted myocardium significantly improve the left ventricular function and reduce the infarcted area size.

Not exact matches

The people who were aspirin resistant also had larger areas of the brain affected by the stroke, as measured by MRI diffusion weighted imaging, with infarct size of 2.8 cc compared to 1.6 cc for those who responded to aspirin.

In addition to producing effects on cortical excitability, stroke may affect the balance of trans - callosal inhibitory pathways between motor primary areas in both hemispheres: the affected hemisphere (AH) may be disrupted not only by the infarct itself but also by the resulting asymmetric inhibition from the unaffected hemisphere, further reducing the excitability of the AH.
