Neuroprotective Effect of Antioxidants and Moderate Hypoxia as Combined Preconditioning in Cerebral Ischemia

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

We studied combined effect of moderate hypoxia and compounds pQ-4, pQ-915, pQ-1032, and pQ-1104 on neurological deficit and survival of rats after bilateral ligation of common carotid arteries. Preconditioning including moderate hypoxia and treatment with compound pQ-4 produced a neuroprotective effect and increased animal survival during the early (by 51%) and late (by 33.5%) periods of modeled ischemia and reduced neurological deficit (by 50% and 41%, respectively). Moreover, this combination of preconditioning factors prevented postischemic excessive activation of free radical oxidation in brain hemispheres and blood serum.
