Early oxygen therapy does not protect the brain from vasogenic edema following acute ischemic stroke in adult male rats

Abstract Brain edema aggravates primary brain injury and increases its mortality rate after ischemic stroke. It is believed that normobaric oxygen therapy (NBO) may produce neuroprotective effects against ischemic stroke; however, reports have been controversial, and its effects on vasogenic brain e...
