Abstract excerpt
The major risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are hypertension and aging. A fundamental mechanism for hypertension- and aging-induced vascular injury is oxidative stress. We hypothesize that oxidative stress has a crucial role in ICH. To test our hypothesis, we used bacterial collagenase to produce ICH in wild-type C57BL/6 and gp91phox knockout (gp91phox KO) mice (deficient in gp91phox subunit of the...
