The present study was undertaken to determine if the neuroprotective effect of 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) when administrated after ischemia is dose-dependent and if the therapeutic window for estrogen can be prolonged. Ischemic injury was induced by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (p-MCAO). Administration of E(2) at 30 min after ischemia resulted in a reduction in lesion volume. A higher dose of E(2) extended the therapeutic window to 6h after cerebral ischemia in 33% of the rats. These findings suggest that postischemic treatment with estrogen affords protection against ischemic damage and that it acts within a clinically useful therapeutic window.
本研究旨在确定缺血后给予17β-雌二醇(E₂)的神经保护作用是否具有剂量依赖性,以及雌激素的治疗窗是否可以延长。通过永久性大脑中动脉闭塞(p-MCAO)诱导缺血性损伤。缺血后30分钟给予E₂可使损伤体积减小。更高剂量的E₂可将33%的大鼠脑缺血治疗窗延长至6小时。这些发现表明,缺血后雌激素治疗可提供针对缺血性损伤的保护作用,且其作用于临床有用的治疗窗内。
