Distribution of the catalytic calcineurin A subunit is altered and calcineurin activity increased following fluid percussion injury. Alterations in calcineurin subunit A isoform distribution within the hippocampus also occur post controlled cortical impact (CCI) demonstrating a reduction in catalytic subunit distribution in CA1-2 dendritic fields. Furthermore the effect of TBI on the regulatory subunit, calcineurin B, is unknown. Understanding the role of both subunits is nece..."

Increased lactate and LPI were frequent findings after acute TBI and in most cases they were not related to episodes of brain tissue hypoxia. Furthermore, the concordance between both biomarkers to classify metabolic dysfunction was weak. LPI and lactate should not be used indistinctly in everyday clinical practice because of the weak correlation between these two markers, the difficulty in their interpretation and the heterogeneous and complex nature of the pathophysiology. Other differential diagnoses apart from tissue hypoxia should always be considered when high lactate and/or LPI are detected in the acute injured brain.
