abstract

objective(s):every year, a large number of people lose their lives due to stroke. stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide. surprisingly, recent studies have shown that preconditioning with hyperoxia (ho) increases tissue tolerance to ischemia, ultimately reducing damages caused by stroke. addressed in this study are beneficial contributions from ho preconditioning into reduced harm to be incurred by the attack, as well as its effect on the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) and endostatin. materials and methods: a set of experiments was conducted where a number of rats were divided into three groups. the animals in the first group received 90% oxygen for 4 hr a day, for 6 days. the second group was housed in room air and the third group was a sham (surgical stress). after 60 min of ischemia, 24 hr blood flow, neurological deficit score (nds) and infarct volume (iv) in the group mcao (middle cerebral artery occlusion) were investigated. immediately following a 48 hr ho pre-treatment, sampling was performed to measure the expression levels of vegf and endostatin. results: preconditioning with alternating ho led to reduced infarct volume and nds. moreover, pre-treatment with ho resulted in increased vegf expression while decreasing endostatin. conclusion: although further studies are deemed necessary to clarify the mechanisms of ischemic tolerance, apparently, somewhat intermittent hyperoxia can be associated with positive impacts by increasing vegf and decreasing expression of endostatin.

Time course of normobaric hyperoxia preconditioning on NCX2, 3 expression

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine Na-Ca exchanger 2, 3 (NCX2, 3) protein level changes during 2, 5, 10, 15 days after induction of normobaric hyperoxia (HO) preconditioning. Materials and Methods: Rats were divided in two experimental groups. The first group was exposed to 95% inspired HO for 4 h/day for 6 consecutive days (HO). The second group acted as control, and was...

.Neuroprotection induced by Preconditioning with Prolonged and Intermittent Normobaric Hyperoxia Induce Catalase Activity in the rat stroke model

Introduction: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is an endogenous phenomenon that can induce ischemic tolerance (IT) in variety of organs such as brain. In this study, we examined the intermittent and prolonged dose of normobaric hyperoxia (HO) on neurologic deficit scores, infarct volume, and catalase activity. Material and Method: The rats were divided to four main groups. First two main groups w...
