Abstract

Our data have shown that nitrite therapy can rescue the ischemic brain when injected <3h after cerebral ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury and its effects can be prolonged to 4.5h in combination with memantine. We investigated whether or not long-term nitrite therapy is beneficial in ischemic brains. Sodium nitrite (1-100 μg/kg ip) or saline were administered to rats subjected to focal I/R injury for 7 days beginning 24h after I/R. Behavioral tests for 5 weeks revealed better functional recovery in the high-dose nitrite group than the control group. Other nitrite groups with relatively low doses showed no functional benefits. Hemispheric atrophy was attenuated by approximately 30% in the high-dose nitrite group. High-dose nitrite therapy also reduced inflammatory cytokine levels and caspase activity in the subacute period, and increased BrdU(+)MAP2(+) and BrdU(+)laminin(+) cells, and vascular density in the 5-week ischemic brain. Long-term nitrite therapy, when initiated 24h after I/R, corrected the subacute hostile environment, induced tissue and vascular regeneration, and improved functional recovery. Early and subsequent long term nitrite therapy may be effective in the management for ischemic stroke patients.

  • Low concentrations of nitrite mediate cytoprotection in a variety of tissues in animal models including heart, liver, brain, kidney, hindlimb, and human forearm.

    “The efficacy of low concentrations of nitrite in mediating cytoprotection has been demonstrated in a variety of tissues in animal models including heart [8, 9, 55, 118–122] liver [9, 120, 123], brain [124–126], kidney [127, 128], hindlimb [129], and human forearm [23].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
