C-Phycocyanin is neuroprotective against global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in gerbils

Highlights ► C-Phycocyanin (C-PC) prevents gerbil brain ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI). ► C-PC reduces infarct volume and hippocampal cell death induced by IRI. ► Neurological outcome and survival correlated with histological findings. ► C-PC antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory p...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► C-Phycocyanin (C-PC) prevents gerbil brain ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI). ► C-PC reduces infarct volume and hippocampal cell death induced by IRI. ► Neurological outcome and survival correlated with histological findings. ► C-PC antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory properties support protection. ► First report on C-PC protection in brain IRI shows potential for stroke therapy.
