Neuroprotection afforded by prior citicoline administration in experimental brain ischemia: effects on glutamate transport
Background and purpose:: Cytidine-5′-diphosphocholine (citicoline or CDP-choline), an intermediate in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, has shown beneficial effects in a number of CNS injury models including cerebral ischemia. Citicoline is the only neuroprotectant that has proved efficacy in...
