Article Synopsis
- Decreased blood flow in the brain increases reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the enzyme family NADPH oxidase (NOX), particularly NOX2 and NOX4, exacerbates ischemic injury.
- The study investigates the effects of vitamin D3 pretreatment on oxidative stress and various parameters related to NOX, MMP9, and brain inflammation in gerbils after induced global cerebral ischemia.
- Results show that vitamin D3 pretreatment significantly reduces oxidative stress markers and modifies the expression of NOX2 and MMP9, highlighting the potential benefits of vitamin D in protecting the brain from ischemic damage.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a highly prevalent and impairing disorder. Oxidative stress is implicated in its pathogenesis. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase is an important source of free radicals.

Long-term treatment with antipsychotics is frequently associated with decreased bone mineral density, increased fracture risk and metabolic side effects. Perinatal phencyclidine (PCP) administration to rodents represents an animal model of SCH.
