Neuroprotective effect of black cumin oil against cerebrovascular hypoperfusion induced pyramidal cell loss in rats

Critically attained threshold cerebrovascular hypoperfusion (CATCH) hypothesis is believed to cause age related neurodegeneration. Such threshold was successfully achieved in rats by permanent bilateral common carotid artery ligation (PBCCAL) and the earliest neurons to undergo neurodegeneration we...
