Abstract

Several lines of recent evidences have shown that several pro-inflammatory genes or mediators, such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 and cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosis factor $\alpha$ and interleukin-1$\beta$), are strongly expressed in the ischemic brain. Inflammation is now recognized as a significant contributing mechanism in cerebral ischemia because anti-inflammatory compounds or inhibitors of iNOS and cyclooxygenase-2 have been proven to reduce ischemic brain damage.
