The selective estrogen receptor modulator, bazedoxifene, reduces ischemic brain damage in male rat

2014

While the estrogen treatment of stroke is under debate, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) arise as a promising alternative. We hypothesize that bazedoxifene (acetate, BZA), a third generation SERM approved for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, reduces ischemic brain damage in a rat model of transient focal cerebral ischemia. For comparative purposes, the neuroprotective effect of 17β-estradiol (E2) has also been assessed. Male Wistar rats underwent 60min middle cerebral artery occlusion (intraluminal thread technique), and grouped according to treatment: vehicle-, E2- and BZA-treated rats. Optimal plasma concentrations of E2 (45.6±7.8pg/ml) and BZA (20.7±2.1ng/ml) w…

Multifocal Ischemic Brain-Stem Lesions

1993

The clinical symptoms and signs of brain-stem ischemia are far less well defined than in ischemia due to carotid or middle cerebral artery disease. They consist of many different syndromes, and it is often difficult to correlate the clinical findings with a single functional or morphological lesion within the brain-stem.
