Abstract
This review summarizes published data and original findings on the morphology of neurons and glial cells in normal conditions and model conditions that simulate those in the human brain during stroke. Ultrastructural changes that occur in the presence of high concentrations of glutamate (Glu, 0.1–5.0 M) and the NO-generating compound NaNO2 (0.1–5.0 mM) were studied in the cerebella (frog cerebellum), which is one of the simplest circuitries structurally. Such studies and data analyses are important because hyperstimulation of Glu receptors is a leading pathogenetic factor of neuronal damage during a stroke. High Glu concentrations exert a toxic effect and damage cerebellar neurons and glial cells. Mitochondria are de-energized, ionic homeostasis is distorted, the intracellular Ca2+ concentration increases, and constitutive NO synthases are activated in the process. The changes result in an increase in the contents of NO and its transformation products, which are involved in a negative feedback mechanism from postsynaptic neurons to presynaptic cells. Biochemical processes are consequently affected, and morphological changes are induced in neurons and glial cells, leading to their swelling. At the same time, ultrastructural compensatory adaptive mechanisms develop to reduce the damaging effect of high concentrations of Glu and NO-generating compounds.
