Abstract
The effects of hypothermia on caspase-3 activation were investigated in the newborn rat brain after hypoxia-ischemia (HI). Intense caspase-3 activation was observed in the control brains after HI, but this activation was significantly reduced by postischemic hypothermia. These findings suggest that the inhibition of caspase-3 activation may be an interventional point underlying the neuroprotective effect of hypothermia in neonates.Entities:
