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):

·
Reduced Glutathione (GSH) activity
·
Acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) activity
·
