Protective effects of oleanolic acid on cerebral ischemic damage<i>in vivo</i>and H₂O₂-induced injury<i>in vitro</i>

Abstract

These results demonstrate that oleanolic acid effectively alleviates cerebral ischemic damage in vivo and oxidative injury in vitro, which may be in part due to the modulation of endogenous antioxidants and the improvement of mitochondrial function. Oleanolic acid may be a potential medicine for attenuating ischemic stroke.
