Methods: ICR mice were subjected to an I h transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and fol- lowed by 24 h of reperfusion. Neurological deficits, infarct volume, brain edema and survive rate were measured, respectively. The levels of brain IL-1β, TNF-a, ROS and DNA-binding activity of NF-KB p65 were measured by ELISA kits. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and activities of superoxide dismu- tase (SOD) were detected by spectrophotometry, and the release of nitric oxide (NO) were detected by Griess kit. Results: ICT markedly reduced the neurological deficit scores, brain edema, infarct volume and increased the survival rate of the cerebral I/R mice. The expression of IL-Iβ, TNF-α, NO, MDA and DNA-binding activity of NF-KB p65 were significantly inhibited by ICT, while the activity of SOD were up-regulated at the same time. Conclusion: ICT possessed significant neuroprotective effects in cerebral I/R mice, which might be related to prevent neuroinflammatory and oxidative damage.展开更多
