Introduction
Antioxidant
Reduction of ROS mediated reactions
would rescue the neurons from
reperfusion induced neuronal loss in
animal model of cerebral ischemia

Estimation of peroxynitrite
Peroxynitrite was estimated by using a fluorescent
dye dihydrorhodamine 123
Peroxynitrite dependent manner
oxidized to rhodamine123
Level of rhodamine123 was calculated from
the standard curve obtained from authentic
rhodamine123
(in a concentration 0-10 nM which prepared in plasma obtained
from the untreated rat.)
