Purpose : This study was aimed to elucidate the effect of hyperthermia on neuronal nitric oxide synthase(nNOS) expression in both cerebral hemispheres after left common carotid artery occlusion in gerbils.
Methods : Using Mongolian gerbils, cerebral ischemia was produced by occluding carotid artery for 1-4 hours. Rectal temperature was maintained at 36℃ for normothermia and 40℃ for hyperthermia by heating pad.... |
