6 extra animals will be taken extra in each study for the randomization purpose

 

3.0  METHOD:

·       Healthy animals will be selected, randomized based on body weight and divided into 8 different groups consisting of 8 animals each.

·       Rats were anaesthetized with 75mg of Ketamine in Combination with 10mg Xylazine ip.

·       A midline incision was made in the region between neck and sternum and trachea is exposed. Both the right and left common carotid arteries were located lateral to sternocleidomastoid, freed from surrounding tissues and vagus nerve separated.  

·       Cerebral ischemia was induced  by clamping  both  the  arteries  with  the  help  of  aneurysm  clips.  

·       After 10 min of  cerebral ischemia;  the  clips  were  removed  from  the  arteries  to  allow  the  reflow  of  the  blood through  carotid arteries.

·       The incision was sutured back in layers with surgical suture. While performing the surgical procedure; the body temperature was maintained at 37ÂşC by heated IR lamp or by any other alternatives.

·       Necropsy: The animals were deeply anaesthetized with pentobarbitone. Following decapitation, the brains were taken out and fixed in 10% formalin.  Multiple, paraffin-embedded, coronal sections (5-Am thick) were taken from each brain (spanning through striatum tocaudal hippocampus). Serial sections (spaced apart by 250 Am, 15 in total for each brain) were selected for histopathological analysis of neuronal damage.  

 

 

4.0  END POINT PARAMETER(S):

  

·       Total protein activity

·       Lipid Peroxidase (LPO) activity

·       Reduced Glutathione (GSH) activity

·       Acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) activity

·       Measurement of infarction area

·       Brain Histopathology
