Zusammenfassung:Our team tested the hypothesis that pharmacological induction of ischemicpreconditioning (IPC) can offer cytoprotection and preserve vital tissues after cerebralstroke with hemorrhagic shock. The compound, diazoxide (DZ), is known to mimic IPCthrough its effects as a mitochondrial KATP channel opener and succinate dehydrogenaseinhibitor. The effect of DZ was examined under two IPC protocols: delayedpreconditioning and postconditioning in an anesthetized rat model of hemorrhagic shock,combined in some experimental groups with cerebral vascular occlusion (stroke).
