AbstractBackground and Purpose - In both permanent and transient 3-hour middle cerebral artery occlusion rat stroke models, a single intraperitoneal injection of melatonin at 5 or 15 mg/kg given before ischemia was shown to reduce infarct volume at 72 hours. The present study was conducted to examine the treatment time window when melatonin was commenced after onset of ischemia. Methods - Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized to undergo right-sided middle cerebral artery occlusion for 3 hours. A single intraperitoneal injection of vehicle or melatonin at 5 mg/kg was given at 0, 1, or 3 hours after onset of ischemia. Other groups received multiple injections of vehicle or melatonin at 5 mg/kg with the first injection given at 1, 2, or 3 hours after onset of ischemia and the second and third injections at 24 and 48 hours, respectively. Multiple injections of melatonin at 15 mg/kg with the first injection given at 3 hours were also made. The infarct volume was determined at 72 hours. Results - A single dose of melatonin at 5 mg/kg given at 0 or 1 but not 3 hours after onset of ischemia reduced the infarct volume. Multiple doses of melatonin at 5 mg/kg also reduced the infarct volume when the first dose was given at 1 or 2 but not 3 hours after onset. Significant hemodynamic effects were not observed. Conclusions - Our results indicate that melatonin at 5 mg/kg given as a single injection or multiple injections protects against focal cerebral ischemia when commenced within 2 hours of onset.
