Effects of PFEM and SOD on Cerebral Ischemia Followed by Reperfusion in Gerbils / 昆明医科大学学报

By the ligation of gerbils bilateral carotid arteries and then reperfusion, the effects of PFEM and SOD on the stroke index were evaluated after a 45 min cerebral ischemia followed by a 6 hr reperfusion period and on the mortality after a 24 hr reperfusion period. The resulta indicated that both PFEM and SOD could decrease the stroke index and mortality dramatically. We speculated upon the protective effect of PFEM on cerebral damage following ischemia with reperfusion. It might be due to the inhibition of the free radical metabolism.
