Outline of Final Research Achievements

The therapeutic hypothermia for acute stroke might play an important role in neuroprotection, however, the key mechanism of this therapy is still undetermined. We hypothesize that hypothermia enhances ATP/adenosine-mediated neuroprotection against ischemia. To elucidate this hypothesis, we recorded filed EPSPs from stratum radiatum of area CA1 in the acute hippocampal slices of adult mice and oxygen-glucose deprivation (the model of ischemia in vitro) was exposed while changing temperatures. The results suggest that hypothermia has protective effect on ischemia-induced loss of synaptic activity through activation of adenosine receptors.
