Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) ameliorates early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats via inhibiting STING-NLRP3 inflammatory signaling.

Neuroinflammation is intimately associated with poor prognosis in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), a disulfide antioxidant, has been shown to be neuroprotective in an in vivo model of neurological injury; however, the role of ALA in SAH has never been evaluated. In this study, the Sprague-Dawley rats SAH model was induced by endovascular perforation method.

Knockdown of sortilin improves the neurological injury and regional cerebral blood flow in rats after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a severe subtype of stroke. Sortilin protein is elevated in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of SAH patients. This study explored the mechanism of sortilin in SAH.
