Popis: Glutamate receptors are numerous on the ischemia vulnerable CA-1 pyramidal cells. Postischemic use of the AMPA antagonist NBQX has shown up to 80% protection against cell death. Three aspects of this were studied: In the first study, male Wistar rats were given NBQX (30 mg/kg × 3) either 20 hours or immediately (0 h) before 12 min of 4-vessel occlusion with hypotension. After six days of reperfusion comparison with an untreated group showed almost full protection in the 0 h group (4% cell loss, p < 0.001) but only slight protection in the 20 h group (62% cell loss, p < 0.05).
