Upregulation of the Aromatic Amino Acid Decarboxylase under Neonatal Asphyxia

Upregulation of the Aromatic Amino Acid Decarboxylase under Neonatal Asphyxia

Perinatal hypoxic–ischemic cerebral injury is a major determinant of neurologic morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period and later in childhood. There is evidence that the dopaminergic system is sensitive to asphyxia. However, the respective enzyme activities have not yet been measured in the...
