Abstract: AIM: To study the neuroprotective effect and possible mechanism of ganglioside GM1 on neonatal hypoxic-ischemic-encephalopathy( HIE).METHODS: A rat model of neonatal HIE was established, then the pathological changes and expressions of nitric oxide syn-thase (NOS) in the brain tissueswere investigated in dif-ferent periods after hypoxia-ischemia (HI) and the subse-qent changes of the above results after GM1 administrated. RESULTS: The damage of the brain exposed to HI were alleviated significantly after GM1 administrated.The lev-els of NOS expressions in the brain tissue increased after HI. GM1 could inhibit NOS expressions induced by HI.CONCLUSION: GM1 may have some protective effects on neonatal HIE, and the possible mechanism is related to the partial inhibition of NOS expression .

Key words: ganglioside GM1, hypoxic-ischemic-en-cephalopathy, neonatal rat, nitric oxide synthase
