The neuronal death that accompanies an ischemic stroke has previously been attributed to a necrotic process. However, numerous studies in experimental models of ischemia have recently indicated that programmed cell death, also called apoptosis, may contribute to neuronal death. The aim of the present study was to investigate the intrathecal levels of proteins regulating apoptosis in acute stroke and to relate these levels to brain damage and to production of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
