Background and Purpose-Pretreatment with angiotensin II AT(1) receptor antagonists protects against cerebral ischemia We studied whether modulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and morphometric changes in brain arteries participated in this protective mechanismMethods-We pretreated adult spontaneously hypertensive rats with equally antihypertensive doses of candesartan (0 1 or 0 3 mg/kg per day) nicardipine (0 1 mg/kg per day) or captopril (3 0 mg/kg per day) for 3 or 28 days via subcutaneous osmotic minipumps followed by permanent left middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion distal to the origin of the lenticulostriate arteries We measured CBF by autoradiography with 4 iodo [N methyl C-14]antipyrine 3 hours after operation and the areas of infarct and tissue swelling 24 hours after operation Morphometric changes in the MCA were studied after anti hypertensive treatmentResults-Twenty eight days of candesartan Pretreatment decreased the infarct area by 31% reduced the CBF decrease at the peripheral area of ischemia and the cortical volume of severe ischemic lesion where CBF was
