    Abstract:
    The effect of a multicomponent nutraceutical on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in male Wistar rats was investigated. Animals were administered with the nutraceutical, Trévo™, for 7 days before 30 min of bilateral common carotid artery occlusion-induced cerebral ischemia and 24 hr of reperfusion. Behavioral assessment, biochemical estimations in the brain cortex, striatum, and hippocampus, and hippocampal histopathological evaluation were carried out after treatments. Results showed that ischemia/reperfusion-induced motor and cognitive deficits were abated in rats pretreated with Trévo™. Additionally, prophylaxis with Trévo™ blunted ischemia/reperfusion-induced redox stress, proinflammatory events, disturbances in neurotransmitter metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, and histoarchitectural aberrations in the discreet brain regions. In summary, supplementation with Trévo™ provided neuroprotection to rats against transient cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and could be explored as a promising approach in stroke prevention. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: There is a worldwide increase in the incidence of cerebral ischemia or stroke. Although an advanced health care system and effective control of risk factors have led to the declining incidence in developed nations, a definitive cure for stroke remains elusive and the situation is growing worse in developing nations. The results of the present study revealed that supplementation with Trévo™ ameliorated neurobehavioral, neurochemical, and histopathological consequences of brain ischemia/reperfusion injury and could, therefore, be beneficial in stroke prevention and management.
