Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder, suffered by hundreds of millions of people throughout the world, which is characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from insufficiency of insulin secretion and/or action (Wild et al., 2004). Complications associated with diabetes affecting vessels, eyes, kidney, and peripheral nerves reduce the QOL of diabetic patients. Also, diabetes is widely recognized as a major risk factor for atherosclerotic disease such as acute brain ischemia. Indeed, diabetic patients have a higher risk of stroke compared with non-diabetic patients (Baynes 1991; Stephens et al., 2009). Additionally, they are more likely to have a poor prognosis and increased mortality after stroke (Biller et al., 1993; Vinik et al., 2002). Previous studies have demonstrated that the diabetic state increases oxidative stress in the brain and aggravates cerebral ischemic injury in both type I (Li et al., 2004; Saito et al., 2005; Rizk et al., 2005) and type II diabetic animal models (Anabela et al., 2006; Tureyen et al., 2011). In addition to neuronal damage attributed to hypoxia and ATP depletion caused by vascular obstruction in ischemic core region, cerebral injury caused by subsequent reperfusion is also involved in the pathophysiology of transient ischemia (Doyle et al., 2008; Nakka et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2010). During reperfusion, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is enhanced by abrupt re-oxygenation (Cuzzocrea et al., 2001; Saito et al., 2005). Besides direct injurious effects to the cell membrane, proteins and DNA by
