Official Title: Simultaneous Assessments of Serotonin and Kynurenine Pathways Parameters in Patients Shortly (Less Than 4 Hours and a Half) After the Onset of a Cerebral Infarction
Brief Summary:
Single-center, prospective, descriptive and biomedical research with controls, without health product.
Depression is the second risk factor for stroke as tobacco smoking following hypertension. Peripheral abnormalities in serotonin parameters were described in depression and tobacco smoking. The investigators hypothesized dysregulations in pathways of serotonin (5-HT), which has notably complex vasomotor effects and of kynurenine which could have cognitive dysfunction effects.
The aim of this study is to evaluate simultaneously the involvement of serotonin and kynurenine pathways parameters in patients suffering from a cerebral infarction shortly after the onset (less than 4 hours and a half), within a 2 days follow-up (Day 1 and Day 2) and 3 months after the cerebral infarction.
