The Mechanism of the Neuroprotective Effect of Kynurenic Acid in the Experimental Model of Neonatal Hypoxia–Ischemia: The Link to Oxidative Stress
The over-activation of NMDA receptors and oxidative stress are important components of neonatal hypoxia–ischemia (HI). Kynurenic acid (KYNA) acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist and is known as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, which makes it a potential therapeutic compound. This study aime...
