Abstract
Cardiac arrest and resuscitation produce global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion damage to the brain, which lead to high mortality and delayed neuronal death. Adenosine (ADO) has been suggested as an endogenous neuroprotective molecule, acting through multiple potential mechanisms (Sweeney, 1997). In this study we investigated the possible neuroprotective effects of adenosine on cerebral recovery following global ischemia induced by cardiac arrest and resuscitation.
