NF-kappaB is a transcription factor that regulates inflammatory and apoptotic pathways. We described previously that intraperitoneal administration of the NF-kappaB inhibitor TAT-NBD at 0 and 3 hours after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) markedly reduced brain damage. We hypothesize that timing and duration of NF-kappaB inhibition will be a major factor in determining outcome.
