Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been postulated to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Among these, hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is known to be a toxic compound responsible for free-radical-dependent neuronal damage. In recent years, however, the 'bad reputation' of H(2)O(2) and other ROS molecules has changed. The aim of this study was to assess the protective role of H(2)O(2) and modification in its endogenous production on the electrophysiological and morphological changes induced by oxygen/glucose deprivation (OGD) on CA1 hippocampal neurons.
