Neuroprotective effects of dexmedetomidine against hyperoxia-induced injury in the developing rat brain.

Neuroprotective effects of dexmedetomidine against hyperoxia-induced injury in the developing rat brain.

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a highly selective agonist of α2-receptors with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic properties. Neuroprotective effects of dexmedetomidine have been reported in various brain injury models. In the present study, we investigated the effects of dexmedetomidine on hippocampal n...
