Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the protective effects of Longxuetongluo capsule on cerebral ischemia injury in rats.  METHODS: The focal cerebral ischemia model was established to observe the extent of the pathological alteration and the focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion model was established to observe the change of behavior in rats. Meanwhile, the influence of Longxuetongluo capsule on the levels of Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Malondialdehyde (MDA), NO and Induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were investigated. RESULTS: Compared with model group, Longxuetongluo capsule of 0.66,0.33g/kg ameliorated neurologic deficits score and reduced the water content of brain tissue. In addition, Longxuetongluo capsule of 0.66 g/kg, 0.33g/kg can remarkly increased the levels of GSH-Px, SOD, LDH and decreased the activity of iNOS and the contents of NO and MDA. CONCLUSION: Longxuetongluo capsule has profective effects on cerebral ischemia injury and the mechanism maybe related to the resistance of free radical damage and the inhibiton of iNOS.

Key words: Longxuetongluo capsule, cerebral ischemia, SOD, NO, iNOS
