Effect of dexamethasone on experimental cerebral infarction in the gerbil.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cerebral infarction was produced in the gerbil by ligation of one common carotid artery. The mortality from the lesion was significantly reduced by the daily administration of dexamethasone in the first 48 hours after surgery.

Effect of Methylprednisolone on Experimental Cerebral Infarction in the Mongolian Gerbil • In a double-blind study, the effect of high doses of methylprednisolone on the cerebral edema induced by cerebral infarction was evaluated in 76 Mongolian gerbils. The incidence of experimentally induced cerebral infarction following carotid artery ligation is high in these animals because they lack a pos...

متن کاملInhibition of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Reduces Cerebral Infarction Size in Experimental-Induced Focal Cerebral Ischemia in the Rat
Background: The role of Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) in ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injuries is not fully elucidated. Furthermore, it is not clear whether inhibition of RAS by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors has beneficial effects in terms of protecting the brain from I/R injuries. In this study enalapril is used as an ACE inhibitor to evaluate the role of RAS in I/R injuries in...

Ineffectiveness of Dexamelhasone for Treatment of Experimental Cerebral Infarction • Ischemic cerebral edema occurring with cerebral infarction may cause increases of intracranial pressure and neurological deficits or death. Certain other types of cerebral edema are influenced by adrenal glucocorticoids; there is conflicting evidence about effects on ischemic edema, largely due to differences i...
متن کاملThe effect of the calcium antagonist nimodipine on the gerbil model of experimental cerebral ischemia.
The gerbil model was used to assess the therapeutic effects of the calcium antagonist nimodipine on cerebral ischemia. Transient cerebral ischemia was produced in each gerbil by bilateral common carotid occlusion of 10-, 15- or 20-min duration. Nimodipine (0.01 or 0.1 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally just before the carotid occlusion or 10-30 min after the removal of the arterial clips...
