Hypoxia is a typical pathological process that develops as a result of a lack of biological oxidation, leading to a disruption in the energy supply of functions and plastic processes in the brain. Hypoxia of the brain is one of the main mechanisms of its damage in traumatic brain injury and acute cerebrovascular accident. With hypoxia, proteases are activated, including Ca2+-dependent (calpains). They are localized outside of lysosomes in membrane structures in the form of an inactive complex with inhibitory proteins (calpastatins). The main functions of calpains are: repair of the cytoskeleton and cell membranes, destruction of receptor proteins and their renewal, activation of enzymes. In this way, hypoxia causes structural and metabolic changes in the neurons of the central nervous system, triggers adaptation mechanisms implement..... ReadMore
