Reoxygenation with 100% oxygen versus room air: late neuroanatomical and neurofunctional outcome in neonatal mice with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

Study investigated neuroutcome in mice subjected at 7-8 d of life to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HI) followed by 30 min of reoxygenation with 100% O(2) (Re-O(2)) or room air (Re-Air). At 24 h of recovery, mouse reflexes were tested. At 7 wks after HI spatial orientation and memory were assessed in the same mice.
