ischemia-reperfusion injury is the tissue damage happened when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or shortage of oxygen. this brain injury initiates an inflammatory response involving the expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. the aim of this study is investigating the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of  cyperus rotundus l. on the expression of the bcl-x1 an...

Aim: Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. Since water-solublefullerene derivatives act as the potent scavenger of oxygen free radicals in biological systems, we aimedto investigate the possible protective effects of fullerol nanoparticles on brain infarction and edema intransient model of focal cerebral ischemia in rat.Materials & Methods: Experiment ...

conclusions our findings indicate that fullerenol nanoparticles decrease the brain infarction through enhancement of the sod activity during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. results occlusion of mca induced considerable infarction and lesion in ischemic hemispheres of control ischemic rats (527 ± 59 mm3) in accompany with a decrease in the glutathione content (45%), and sod activity (29%) ...

background & aim: free radicals are produced in ischemic processes. nerve damage caused by free radicals may play a role in neurological diseases and antioxidants are protective activity. ellagic acid is a polyphenol compound with antioxidant properties which is found in fruits like pomegranate, blackberry, and all types of mulberry. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of 14 days of ora...

objective(s): morphine dependence (md) potently protects heart against ischemia reperfusion (ir) injury through specific signaling mechanisms, which are different from the pathways involved in acute morphine treatment or classical preconditioning. since opioid receptor density changes post cerebral ischemia strongly correlated with brain histological damage, in the present study, we tried to el...

Ischemia-reperfusion injury is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen. Ischemia-reperfusion brain injury initiates an inflammatory response involving the expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. Twenty–four male Wistar rats (250-300 g body wt) were used in this study. The animals were divided into four groups of 6 rat...

Introduction: Arterial hypertension is one of the causes of stroke, and as one of the vasculotoxic conditions intensifies ischemic stroke complications. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of short-term cerebral hypertension on ischemia/reperfusion injury and pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Methods: The experiments were performed on three groups of rats (N=36) Sham, cont...

background: stroke is the third leading cause of invalidism and death in industrialized countries. there are conflicting reports about the effects of angiotensin ii on ischemia-reperfusion brain injuries and most data have come from chronic hypertensive rats. in this study, hypotensive and non-hypotensive doses of candesartan were used to investigate the effects of angiotensin ii at1 receptor b...
