Abstract
Oxidative stress plays a major role in triggering astroglial cell death in diverse neuropathological conditions such as ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases. Numerous studies indicate that hemoglobin (Hb) is expressed in both resting and reactive glia cells, but nothing is known regarding a possible role of hemoglobin on astroglial cells survival. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the potential glioprotective effect of...
