Objective: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the essential mechanism involving in the ischemic process. Due to their complex characteristics, the precise effects of ROS on post-ischemic neurons remain uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of ROS in brain ischemia. Methods: Dynamic ROS levels in the perifocal cortex were evaluated after right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) of SD rats. Furthermore the role of ROS was assessed following delayed treatment with the ROS scavenger dimethylthiourea (DMTU) after brain ischemia. Results: ROS levels markedly increased at 1 hr after reperfusion and then gradually decreased as the post-reperfusion time interval increased. ROS levels reached their lowest point at 3 days after reperfusion before increasing and showing a second peak at 7 days after reperfusion. ROS levels negatively correlated with neurological function scores. Delayed DMTU treatment after stroke worsened neurological outcomes, decreased microvessel density and inhibited stress-activated protein kinase activation. Conclusion: ROS may play a biphasic role in cerebral ischemia. Namely, ROS may induce damage during the injury phase of brain ischemia and participate in improving neurological function during the recovery phase.
