Effects of near-ultraviolet light on the nocturnal serotonin N-acetyltransferase activity of rat pineal gland.

abstract：:A broad spectrum caspase inhibitor reduces hypoxic ischemic brain injury. We hypothesized that a specific caspase-9 inhibitor would provide similar protection. Seven-day-old rat pups had the right carotid artery ligated, then were subjected to 2.5 h of 8% oxygen. Caspase-9 activity in the right cortex was measured enz...
