The effects of the excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist, kynurenate, were investigated in spontaneously hypertensive rats after middle cerebral artery occlusion. Kynurenate did not significantly modify either the infarct volume, measured 48 h after occlusion, or the neurological score. The absence of a neuroprotective effect of kynurenate in this study, which contrasts with results in normotensive rats, is suggested to be due to impaired collateral circulation in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).

D002546 Ischemic Attack, Transient Brief reversible episodes of focal, nonconvulsive ischemic dysfunction of the brain having a duration of less than 24 hours, and usually less than one hour, caused by transient thrombotic or embolic blood vessel occlusion or stenosis. Events may be classified by arterial distribution, temporal pattern, or etiology (e.g., embolic vs. thrombotic).
