Abstract:Backgrounds: Therapeutic hypercapnia was shown to have a potential neuroprotective role in our previous studies in a rat model of ischemia followed by hypoxia; however, it is unknown how hypercapnia affects blood-brain barrier (BBB) function under hypoxic conditions in cerebral ischemia. We aimed to observe the BBB permeability changes in response to cerebral ischemia followed by acute hypoxia or hypercapnic hypoxia using in vivo and in vitro models.Methods: Adult rats underwent unilateral common carotid arter… Show more
