Hypothermia followed by rapid rewarming (HTRR) increased Longa score and neurological deficit score.
HTRR augmented the neuronal loss and the elevation of plasma NSE level in stroke model.
HTRR increased the extravasation of Evans blue dye, enhanced MMP9 release and decreased tight junction proteins.
HTRR increased the levels of cytokines, while minocycline reduced inflammation and improved neurological outcome.
