We investigated the effect of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe) on the prevention of the delayed neuronal death in rats subjected to transient and brief forebrain ischemia. As the results, SAMe dose-dependently protected the hippocampal CA1 neurons from degeneration and necrosis, whose effect was suppressed by simultaneous administration of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, a potent inhibitor in transmethylation. No protective effect was observed in CDP-choline, phosphatidylcholine and L-methionine. Therefore, it is necessary for the prevention of the delayed neuronal death to enhance cerebral SAMe level and to activate transmethylation using SAMe as a methyl donor in postischemic brain.

D008745 Methylation Addition of methyl groups. In histo-chemistry methylation is used to esterify carboxyl groups and remove sulfate groups by treating tissue sections with hot methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid. (From Stedman, 25th ed) Methylations
D009336 Necrosis The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.
D009410 Nerve Degeneration Loss of functional activity and trophic degeneration of nerve axons and their terminal arborizations following the destruction of their cells of origin or interruption of their continuity with these cells. The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.
