Abstract

Epidemiologic studies have shown that foods rich in polyphenols, such as flavonoids, can lower the risk of ischemic disease; however, the mechanism of protection has not been clearly investigated. In this study, we hypothesized that pretreatment effect of catechin hydrate (CH) on functional outcome, neuronal damage and on secondary injuries in the ischemic brain of rats. To test this hypothesis, male Wistar rats were pretreated with CH (20 mg/kg b.wt) for 21 days and then subjected to 2 h middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) followed by 22 h of reperfusion. After 2 h MCAO/22 h reperfusion, neurological deficit, infarct sizes, activities of antioxidant enzymes and cytokines level were measured. Immunohistochemistry and western blot were used to analyse the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), inducible nitric oxide (iNOS) and NF-kB in ischemic brain. The administration of CH showed marked reduction in infarct size, reduced the neurological deficits, suppressed neuronal loss and downregulate the iNOS, GFAP and NF-kB expression in MCAO rats. A significantly depleted activity of antioxidant enzymes and content of glutathione in MCAO group were protected significantly in MCAO group pretreated with CH. Conversely,...Continue Reading
