چکیده

background: it is well known that the hippocampus, the ca1 pyramidal cells in particular, is selectively vulnerable during global cerebral ischemia. recently, it is observed that pentoxifylline has a neuroprotective effect. this study explored the pharmacological relationship between ischemia-induced cell death of the hippocampus and the efficacy of a vasodilator agent (pentoxifylline) in the prevention of delayed neuronal death.   methods : this experimental study was performed on 4 groups: control, ischemia, experimental (200mg/kg pentoxifylline injection one hour prior to and one hour following ischemia) and vehicle (normal saline). transient global ischemia was induced by bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion. to investigate the apoptotic bodies and caspase-3 activities as a central role in the execution phase of apoptosis, the brains were prepared for the tunel technique.   results : pentoxifylline administration limited apoptosis and caspase-3 activities in rats’ hippocampi. our data showed no significant difference between the number of apoptotic bodies in the ca1 region of the hippocampus in the control and pentoxifylline -treated groups (p= 0.994). the results of one- way anova revealed that that ischemia significantly increased caspase-3 levels in the hippocampus (p< 0.05) however, the level of caspase-3 in pentoxifylline -treated rats was less than the ischemic group.   conclusion : these results suggest that the neuroprotective effect of pentoxifylline (200mg/kg) may be accompanied by a reduction in ischemic damage within the ca1 region of the hippocampus in rats subjected to transient global cerebral ischemia.

Effect of pentoxifylline on brain edema in a rat model of transient focal cerebral ischemia

Pervious studies have shown that pentoxifylline (PTX) has beneficial effects in reduction of stroke and brain trauma injuries in experimental animals. However, there is very little and controversial information about the effect of PTX on brain edema in cerebral ischemia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of different doses of PTX on brain edema and neurological m...

Neuroprotective effects of crocin on the histopathological alterations following brain ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat

Objective(s): Some histopathological alterations take place in the ischemic regions following brain ischemia. Recent studies have demonstrated some neuroprotective roles of crocin in different models of experimental cerebral ischemia. Here, we investigated the probable neuroprotective effects of crocin on the brain infarction and histopathological changes after transient model of focal cerebral...

Pre-Ischemic Treatment of Pentoxifylline Reduces Infarct Volumes in Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia in the Rat

Background: Pentoxifylline (PTX) is used in human for intermittent claudication and cerebral vascular disorders including cerebrovascular dementia. It also inhibits the synthesis of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), which is believed to be neurotoxic in animal models of cerebral ischemia. The objective of this study was to examine the role of PTX on ischemia/reperfusion injures in rat model of t...
