摘要
Estrogen-related ischemic neuroprotection has been documented in male and ovariectomized female rats. The precise molecular mechanism underlying estrogen's neuroprotective effect remains obscure. In the present study, we examined whether endogenous estrogen levels affect post-ischemic outcomes in normal cycling female rats. Occlusion of both the common carotid arteries and the right middle cerebral artery (1.5 h) followed by reperfusion (24 h) caused cortical infarction, increased neutrophil accumulation, and elevated antioxidant enzyme and lactate dehydrogenase activities. These post-ischemic changes varied in the female rats and were inversely correlated with circulating estrogen levels. More severe post-ischemic changes and injury accompanied the decline in circulating estrogen levels in normal cycling female rats, indicating that estrogen is probably the major hormonal player in female resistance to ischemia.
