The Effect of Ethyl Pyruvate and N-Acetylcysteine on Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in an Experimental Model of Ischemic Stroke

Reperfusion therapies play an important role in early-period treatment of patients presenting to the emergency department due to stroke. However, the ischemia–reperfusion injury that may occur with reperfusion must then be considered. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and ethyl pyruvate in preventing ischemia–reperfusion injury.
