Modified calcium accumulation after controlled cortical impact under cyclosporin A treatment: a⁴⁵Ca autoradiographic study

Abstract

Post-traumatic 45Ca accumulation is modified under CsA. The crucial neuroprotective effect of CsA might be unrelated to a reduction of post-traumatic Ca2+ accumulation, especially with regard to the importance of Ca2+ as an intracellular messenger governing a large number of cellular functions.
