Popis: SUMMARY 1. In the present study the neuroprotective effects of 3 mg/kg idazoxan, an α2-adrenoceptor antagonist and imidazolinea-receptor (I2-receptor) ligand, 3 mg/kg methoxyidazoxan, a specific α2-adrenoceptor antagonist, and 0.6 and 3 mg/kg BU224, a selective I2-receptor ligand, were evaluated following 10 min of global ischaemia in rats. 2. Neuronal cell counts in the CA1 region of the hippocampus 8 days postischaemia indicated 46–96% cell loss compared with control (P
