Abstract
Nitrite therapy is more effective in cerebral ischemia when administered earlier. It would be beneficial during the hyperacute stages of stroke if the nitrite effect is demonstrated in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). When nitrite is injected intravenously 3 h after ICH induction in rats, most doses of nitrite provided no beneficial effects on behavioral deficits, brain edema and hematoma volumes. A high dose of nitrite, however, decreased hematoma volume, but not brain edema. Peri-hematomal apoptosis and inflammation were similar between the control and nitrite groups. Nitrite therapy may be considered a therapeutic option in hyperacute stroke because nitrite therapy is tolerated in ICH as well.
