Anti-oxidative effects of d-allose, a rare sugar, on ischemia-reperfusion damage following focal cerebral ischemia in rat

▶ Brain damage after transient ischemia was decreased by d-allose administration. ▶ Oxidative stress markers were also reduced by d-allose. ▶ d-allose has anti-oxidative effects and induces neuroprotection in cerbral ischemia.
