  • Title: Effect of radix Salviae miltiorrhizae on nitric oxide in cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury.
    Author: Kuang P, Tao Y, Tian Y.
    Journal: J Tradit Chin Med; 1996 Sep; 16(3):224-7. PubMed ID: 9389125.
    Abstract:
    It has been postulated that nitric oxide (NO) is produced in significant amount on reperfusion of ischemic brain and could cause brain edema and cell death. This study was undertaken in an attempt to determine whether Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (RSM) could reduce cerebral NO contents in 4-vessel occlusion rat model after 30 min of global ischemia and 15 min of reperfusion. There was a significant increase in cerebral NO level in untreated animals as compared with sham-operated ones. By pretreatment with RSM the cerebral NO concentration was reduced to normal level. The possibilities of neuroprotective role of RSM in cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury were discussed.
