Abstract:Background: Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of argon neuroprotection in rodent models of cerebral ischemia. The objective of the present study was to confirm a potential neuroprotective effect of argon in a non-human primate model of endovascular ischemic stroke as an essential step before considering the use of argon as a neuroprotective agent in humans. Methods: Thirteen adult monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were allocated to two groups: a control group (n=8) without neuroprotection and an argon gro… Show more
