Insulin administration protects neurologic function in cerebral ischemia in rats.

چکیده
Hyperglycemia exacerbates neurologic damage in clinical and experimental central nervous system ischemia. The purpose of our study was to determine if insulin administration before significantly alters neurologic deficit and survival after ischemia using a newly developed rat cerebral ischemia model. One hour before the onset of ischemia, 40 200-300-g Sprague-Dawley rats received intraperitoneal injections of either 1 ml normal saline or 0.4, 0.5, or 0.6 units regular insulin in 1 ml normal saline. Rats were then intubated and ventilated with 1-1.5% halothane. The aortic arch was exposed, and snares were placed on the innominate, left carotid, and left subclavian arteries. A 20-minute occlusion was begun, and anesthesia was discontinued. Baseline plasma glucose concentration was similar (p = 0.48, Student's t test) in both groups, but it subsequently was significantly lower in the 0.4 unit insulin-treated group up to 4 hours after occlusion (p less than or equal to 0.0035, Student's t test). Neurologic deficit was scored on a 50-point scale (0 = normal, 50 = severe deficit) 1, 4, 18, and 24 hours after occlusion. In the 0.4 unit insulin-treated group the neurologic deficit score was significantly lower than in the saline-treated group 1, 4, 18, and 24 hours after occlusion (p less than or equal to 0.005, Student's t test). Survival was significantly higher (p = 0.001) in the 0.4 unit insulin-treated (1.7 unit/kg dose) group than in the saline-treated group. No rats died when preocclusion plasma glucose concentration was between 65 and 175 mg/dl.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Candesartan Attenuates Ischemic Brain Edema and Protects the Blood–Brain Barrier Integrity from Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats
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...

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...
