Description
Summary:Different studies in both animals and humans, have shown that citicoline is a safe drug and, at least in the initial studies, it was suggested that it could be beneficial in the early hours of a stroke. Objectives: To evaluate the neuroprotective effect of citicoline on focal cerebral ischemia induced in Rattus rattus var. Holtzman. Determine induced neurological damage in Rattus rattus var. Holtzman in the sample with cerebral ischemia in the 3 experimental groups. Method: Simple random 3 Experimental study groups formed by 6 animals. An ischemic control group; a group (I) ischemic which treatment was given 2000 mg / kg / day citicoline for 07 days; a group II were treated with 2000 mg / kg / day citicoline for 07 days and then underwent ischemia. Then the 3 groups were evaluated histologically. Results: No significant difference between groups I and II treated with 2000 mg / kg / day citicoline. Conclusions: no evidence citicoline neuroprotective effect in the treated groups (I and II) Diferentes investigaciones, tanto en animales como en humanos, han mostrado que la citicolina es un fármaco seguro y, al menos en los estudios iniciales, se sugirió que pudiera ser beneficiosa en las primeras horas de un infarto cerebral. Objetivos: Evaluar el efecto neuroprotector de la citicolina en la isquemia cerebral focal inducida en Rattus rattus var. Holtzman. Método: Estudio experimental aleatorio simple de 3 grupos conformados por 6 animales de experimentación. Un grupo control isquémico; un grupo (I) isquémico al que se le dio tratamiento con 2000mg/kg/día de citicolina por 07 días después de inducir la isquemia; grupo II que recibió tratamiento con 2000mg/kg/día de citicolina por 07 días antes de inducir la isquemia. Luego se evaluaron histopatológicamente los 3 grupos. Resultados: Los hallazgos histológicos fueron similares en los 3 grupos experimentales. Conclusiones: La citicolina no evidencia efecto neuroprotector en los grupos tratados (I y II)
