Liposome-Encapsulated Hemoglobin Ameliorates Impairment of Fear Memory and Hippocampal Dysfunction After Cerebral Ischemia in Rats

Abstract.: Liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin (LEH) has been developed as a blood substitute. In spite of its size (1/30 – 1/40 of erythrocytes), LEH has an oxygen-carrying capacity comparable to erythrocytes. Thus, LEH is expected to carry oxygen into vital organs via collateral routes during ischemi...
