Abstract
Primary brain injury in stroke is followed by an excitotoxic cascade, oxidative stress and further neural damage. Glutathione is critical and depleted in oxidative stress. Since cysteine is limiting in glutathione synthesis, this study investigated the effect of dietary sulfur amino acid (SAA) deficiency on neural damage in a rat model of global hemispheric hypoxia-ischemia (GHHI). Animals were fed with SAA deficient ("deficient") or control diet for 3 days, subjected to right common carotid artery ligation and hypoxia, and diet continued for 3 more days. Histologically evaluated neural damage at 7 days post hypoxia-ischemia was greater in "deficient" rats, shown by mean (+/- SEM) global and hippocampal grid scores of 2.5 +/- 0.7 and 34.9 +/- 9.3%, respectively, vs. controls' scores of 0.1 +/- 0.1 and 0.1 +/- 0.1%, respectively. Mean brain (+/- SEM) reduced glutathione was not different between groups at 6h post hypoxia-ischemia, but was decreased in "deficient" animals 3 days later in neocortex (1.46 micromoles/g wet weight +/- 0.05 vs. 1.67 +/- 0.04 in controls) and thalamus (1.60 micromoles/g wet weight +/- 0.05 vs. 1.78 +/- 0.03 in controls). Administration of a cysteine precursor to "deficient" animals did not ameliorate neural damage. These findings suggest that well-nourished but not "deficient" animals tolerate a mild brain insult. The decline in brain glutathione in the "deficient" animals may be one of several contributing mechanisms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
