Abstract
We investigated whether or not long-term nitrite therapy is beneficial in ischemic brains. Sodium nitrite (1-100 μg/kg ip) or saline were administered to rats subjected to focal I/R injury for 7 days beginning 24h after I/R. Behavioral tests for 5 weeks revealed better functional recovery in the hi...
