摘要
Excessive superoxide production after cerebral ischemia is known to mediate neuronal injury. Angiotensin II type I receptor activation results in production of superoxide, but whether angiotensin II type I receptor blockade prevents production of superoxide and subsequent neuronal injury after ischemia remains unclear. Normotensive rats received the angiotensin II type I receptor blocker, candesartan or only vehicle before induction of global cerebral ischemia. Approximately 30% of the hippocampal CAI neurons survived in candesartan-treated animals, whereas only 2% of neurons survived in vehicle-treated animals. Superoxide production was significantly less in these vulnerable neurons in candesartan-treated animals than in vehicle-treated animals. Angiotensin II type I receptor may have an essential role in superoxide production and subsequent injury in vulnerable neurons after global cerebral ischemia.
