Studies on changes of gangliosides and the composition of their fatty acids in rat brain during adaptation to cold laid the foundation for the investigation of the mechanism of the their neuroprotective action in the models of excitotoxicity and oxidative stress. Later the range of neuroprotectors to be probed was supplemented with alpha-tocopherol and insulin. […]

Sibarov D
My main scientific interests are linked with neuronal pathological states, especially excitotoxicity. It is a term that describes the neuronal death caused by neurotoxic effects of glutamate, which is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate central nervous system. Glutamate is well known to be involved in cognitive functions like learning and memory, but […]
