چکیده

background: angiotensin ii (ang ii) has an important role on cerebral microcirculation however, its direct roles in terms of ischemic brain edema need to be clarified. this study evaluated the role of central ang ii by using candesartan, as an at1 receptor blocker, in the brain edema formation and blood-brain barrier (bbb) disruption caused by ischemia/reperfusion (i/r) injuries in rat. methods: rats were exposed to 60-min middle cerebral artery (mca) occlusion. vehicle and non-hypotensive doses of candesartan (0.1 mg/kg) were administered one hour before ischemia. neurological dysfunction scoring was evaluated following 24 h of reperfusion. animals were then decapitated under deep anesthesia for the assessments of cerebral infarct size, edema formation, and bbb permeability. results: the outcomes of 24 h reperfusion after 60-min mca occlusion were severe neurological disability, massive bbb disruption (evans blue extravasation = 12.5 ± 1.94 µg/g tissue), 4.02% edema, and cerebral infarction (317 ± 21 mm3). candesartan at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg, without changing arterial blood pressure, improved neurological dysfunction scoring together with significant reductions in bbb disruption (54.9%), edema (59.2%), and cerebral infarction (54.9%). conclusions: inactivation of central at1 receptors, if not accompanied with arterial hypotension, protected cerebral micro-vasculatures from damaging effects of acute stroke.

Effect of Nesfatin-1 on Permeability of Blood Brain Barrier, Neurological Score and Brain Edema after Traumatic Brain Injury in Male Rats: A Behavioral and Biochemical Study

Background and purpose: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most complex diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). Nesfatin is an 82-amino acid effective polypeptide in CNS. In this study, we investigated the role of nesfatin in neuron protection in the process of diffuse concussion in rats and also its effect on the level of matrix metalloproteinase-9. Materials and methods: In thi...
