摘要
Abstract: Exposure of 7‐day‐old rats to 7% oxygen/balance nitrogen for 2 h results in selective changes of cholinergic, serotonergic, and dopaminergic neuronal markers in the frontal cortex, hippocampus, and striatum when evaluated 3 weeks after the insult. There is also about a 15% deficiency in brain weight. Treatment with GM1 ganglioside, 50 mg/ kg i.p., for 2 days before and for 3 weeks after the hypoxic insult partially corrects the neurodevelopmental abnormalities including the deficiency in brain weight. We conclude that GMI ganglioside might have therapeutic potential for treating suspected neonatal hypoxia. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
