Neuroprotective Effects of Kangen-karyu on Spatial Memory Impairment in an 8-Arm Radial Maze and Neuronal Death in the Hippocampal CA1 Region Induced by Repeated Cerebral Ischemia in Rats

In the present study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of Kangen-karyu (KGK) in a repeated cerebral ischemia model (2 × 10 min, 1-h interval). A 21-day pre- and postischemic treatment with KGK (10 – 300 mg/kg) and aspirin (5 mg/kg) improved the spatial memory impairment and neuronal death...
