      Acute hypoxia results in uncontrolled release of glutamate and the consequent stimulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which affects the whole ionic homeostasis and finally activates apoptosis of neurons. A potential therapeutic approach to prevent this sequence of events is a blockade of NMDA receptors. Meanwhile, in different models of acute hypoxia, activation of delta-opioid ...

      <i>Background</i> - In different models of hypoxia, blockade of opioid or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors shows cardio- and neuroprotective effects with a consequent increase in animal survival. The aim of the study was to investigate effects of pre-treatment with Morphine or Ketamine on hemodynamic, acid-base status, early survival, and biochemical markers of brain damage in a rat model of ...
