ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the changes of excitatory amino acids of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI) and its clinical significance.Methods The CSF levels of excitatory amino acids including glutamate(Glu) and aspartate(Asp) in 30 cases with ACI and 20 control subjects with migraine were measured by high performance liquid chromatography.Results Glu and Asp levels in patients with ACI were significantly higher than those of the controls(all (P
