<i>N</i> -Acetylcysteine Enhances Hippocampal Neuronal Survival After Transient Forebrain Ischemia in Rats

Abstract

N-Acetylcysteine partially improved neuronal survival when administered before or after ischemia following transient cerebral ischemia (mean arterial blood pressure, 45 mm Hg) but not with a more severe ischemic insult of 10 minutes of transient cerebral ischemia with a mean arterial blood pressure of 30 mm Hg.
