Abstract:The effect of raloxifene on cerebral vasospasm following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was investigated in a rat model. Seven groups of seven rats underwent no SAH, no treatment; SAH only; SAH plus vehicle; SAH plus 3 days intraperitoneal raloxifene treatment; SAH plus 4 days intraperitoneal raloxifene treatment; SAH plus 3 days intrathecal raloxifene treatment; and SAH plus 4 days intrathecal raloxifene treatment. The basilar artery cross-sectional areas were measured at 72 or 96 hours following SAH. The results showed raloxifene decreased SAH-induced cerebral vasospasm in all treatment groups, and suggested no difference between intraperitoneal and intrathecal application, or between 3 days and 4 days of raloxifene treatment. The present study demonstrates that raloxifene is a potential therapeutic agent against cerebral vasospasm after SAH.
