The Effects of Progesterone on Hypoxic Ischemic Injuries in the Cornu Ammonis (CA) Region of the Hippocampus of Neonatal Rats

Hypoxia-ischemia (HI) is a major cause of brain damage in the newborn. Several studies elicited the neuroprotective effects of progesterone in adult rats but there is very little literature available on neonatal rats. Therefore the present study is undertaken to see the effect of progesterone in hyp...
