Abstract: | AIM: To explore the neuroprotective action of progesterone(PROG), which has been proved to be a "neuroactive steroid". METHODS: The model of focal cerebral ischemia was established in rats by reverserble inserting a nylon thread with a diameter of 0.2 mm into the anterior cerebral artery through the internal carotid artery. The effect of PROG was assessed by determining water,sodium, potassium, and calcium contents in striatum of rats subjected to 2 h ischemia followed by 22 h reperfusion. RESULTS: The water,sodium,and calcium contents of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) striatum were obviously higher,the potassium content was obviously lower than those of non-MCAO striatum in I/R and DMSO groups,but there was no significant difference between these two groups.Compared with the result in I/R and DMSO groups , water, sodium and calcium contents significantly decreased, but potassium(P<0.01) obviously elevated in MCAO striatum in the PROG-pretreated group and PROG-pre or posttreated group.There was also significant reduction in water and sodium, but not significantly changed in calcium and potassium in PROG-posttreated group. The water,sodium,potassium,and calcium contents of MCAO striatum in each PROG-treated group were not remarkably different in comparision with those in dexamethasone treatment group(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Treatment with PROG can significantly reduce the striatal injury of rats with cerebral ischmia-reperfusion. |
