Neuroprotective effects of vitamin E in cold induced cerebral injury in guinea pigs

Significant reduction in hemorrhage (10 v/s 13), necrosis (2 v/s 4), cavitations (7 v/s 13), neuronal degeneration, perivascular and parenchymal inflammatory infiltrate (7 v/s 11) were observed in Vitamin E treated cold induced head injury in guinea pigs, evaluated post injury using the modified Benderson's scale. The results suggest that Vitamin E is highly effective in promoting clinical and histopathological recovery in cold induced head injury in guinea pigs.
