Abstract

The release of inflammatory cytokines and free radicals is believed to be one of the events associated with experimental cerebral ischaemia. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a key enzyme in anti-oxidative protection, and neurone- specific enolase (NSE) has been proposed as a marker for neuronal injury. The aim of this study was firstly to examine the changes in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of SOD and NSE following acute stroke, and secondly to relate these changes to infarct size and patient outcome.
