Protective effects of combination of Xuesaitong and aspirin on cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury in rats

ConclusionThe combination of XST and aspirin significantly inhibited oxidative stress and inflammation in serum, cerebral cortex, and hippocampus of MCAO/R rats. The combination of XST and aspirin exerted more protective effects than XST or aspirin treatment alone. The combination of XST and aspirin might provide the synergistic therapeutic effects on CIRI, and deserve further clinical investigation.
