Fujita T et al. – NADPH oxidase–mediated reactive oxygen species production increased at 12 h after reperfusion. Candesartan may protect neurons by decreasing extracellular glutamate immediately after reperfusion and by attenuating oxidative stress via a modulation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor signaling that occurs during ischemic insult.
