Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative Stress and the Use of Antioxidants in Stroke

TL;DR: While early clinical studies have failed to translate success from bench to bedside, the combination of anti-oxidants with existing thrombolytics or novel neuroprotectants may represent an avenue worthy of clinical investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined antiapoptotic and antioxidant approach to acute neuroprotection for stroke in hypertensive rats.

TL;DR: Combined Ngb overexpression with JNK inhibition reduced hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in cultured neurons and reduced infarct and improved neurologic outcome more than single therapy after in vivo experimental stroke in hypertensive rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular-targeting antioxidant therapy in a model of hypertension and stroke.

TL;DR: Targeting an antioxidant to the aortic vasculature in vivo using peptides can significantly improve nitric oxide bioavailability and attenuate the time-dependent and progressive increase in SBP in the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive impact of pre-stroke surgery on survival following transient focal ischemia in hypertensive rats.

TL;DR: Methodological refinement improved survival from stroke in hypertensive rats and post-stroke associated weight loss is reduced in animals with pre-stroke surgery.
