Research Abstract |
Recent evidence indicated that n-propyl gallate (PG), a synthetic antioxidant, activates hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) under normoxic conditions in cultured cells. The present study was conducted to test the hypothesis that the administration of PG may attenuate neuronal injury in a rat model of forebrain ischemia. The results indicated that intraperitoneal administration of n-propyl galate may have neuroprotective effects in a model of moderate(8min), but not severe(10min), forebrain ischemia in rats.
