Neuroprotective effects of Tilia americana var. mexicana on damage induced by cerebral ischaemia in mice.

This study investigated the effects of Tilia americana var. mexicana on damage caused by cerebral ischaemia in mice. The researchers administered non-polar and polar extracts of the plant immediately after inducing ischaemia. The experimental groups treated with these extracts had improved neurological deficits, increased survival rate, and reduced infarct area compared to the ischaemic group. The study confirms the neuroprotective activity of T. americana, suggests a possible synergism between non-polar and polar constituents, and supports its potential as a useful aid in the clinical management of stroke.
