Mild hypothermia (32-35 degrees C) has been repeatedly shown in laboratory models to reduce damage resulting from global cerebral ischemic insults. Little information is available, however, regarding the protective potential of mild hypothermia against focal ischemia. We designed the present study to determine whether mild hypothermia influences outcome from either temporary or permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion in the rat.
