Abstract

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion is one of the fundamental pathological causes of brain disease such as vascular dementia. Exploration of effective treatments for this is of great interest. Histidine has been reported to be effective in anti-apoptosis, antioxidant, and against excitotoxicity. In the present study, we aim to investigate whether histidine could have a therapeutic effect on the impairments induced by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Cerebral hypoperfusion model was established through bilateral common carotid arteries stenosis (BCAS) operation in Tie2-GFP mice. Radial arm maze and Morris water maze revealed that histidine showed potential improvement of the tendency of cognitive impairments induced by hypoperfusion. The possible mechanisms were further investigated. After administration of histidine in hypoperfusion mice, immunofluorescent BrdU staining revealed more new-born nerve cells. In vivo observation through a cranial window under two-photon laser-scanning microscopy demonstrated that the blood flow velocity in capillary was improved, the distance between the astrocytes and the penetrating artery was shortened. Histidine administration also significantly increased the protein expression level of zonula occludens protein 1, an indicator of the integrity of blood-brain barrier (BBB). These results suggest that histidine could alleviate the impairments induced by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in mice, and this effect may be related to the neurogenesis, astrocytes, and the integrity of the BBB.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 June 2021.
All research outputs
#17,196,269
of 25,262,379 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Physiology
#7,559
of 15,524 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#216,949
of 336,073 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Physiology
#272
of 497 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,262,379 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 15,524 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.1. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,073 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 497 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
