Antioxidative effects of a novel dietary supplement Neumentix in a mouse stroke model

Stroke is the leading cause of disability and death worldwide,1 but current available therapies are limited.2 Oxidative stress is the major component of the stroke cascade, especially in the acute phase of an ischemic stroke.3,4 During brain ischemia and reperfusion, reactive oxygen species (ROS), also referred to as oxygen free radicals, are overproduced, while the endogenous antioxidative defense systems are disrupted.5 ROS generates toxic aldehyde 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE),6 glycated protein N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML),7 and oxidized DNA 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG).
