Abstract
Stroke is one of the most significant causes of death and long-term disability globally. Overproduction of reactive oxygen species by NADPH oxidase (NOX) plays an important role in exacerbating oxidative stress and causing neuronal damage after a stroke. There is growing evidence that NOX inhibition prevents ischemic injury and that the role of NOX in brain damage or recovery depends on specific post-stroke phases. In addition to studies on post-stroke neuroprotection by NOX inhibition, recent reports have also demonstrated the role of NOX in stroke recovery, a critical process for brain adaptation and functional reorganization after a stroke. Therefore, in this review, we investigated the role of NOX in stroke recovery with the aim of integrating preclinical findings into potential therapeutic strategies to improve stroke recovery.
