Secondary Brain Injury After Parenchymal Cerebral Hemorrhage in Humans: The Role of NOX2-Mediated Oxidative Stress and Endothelin-1.

ABSTRACT: Perihematomal hypoperfusion may lead to ischemic damage during intraparenchymal cerebral hemorrhage (ICH), resulting in worse prognosis. We aimed to (1) investigate the relationship between serum biomarkers related to oxidative stress and vasoactive substances and the occurrence of hypoperfusion and ischemic perihematomal lesions in ICH and (2) evaluate their correlation with the volumetric evolution of the hematoma and perihematomal edema. We enrolled 28 patients affected by ICH. Blood samples were collected at three different time points from symptom onset: T0, T1, and T2 (admission, 12-24 h, and 48-72 h, respectively), to measure endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitrites/nitrates (NO), soluble nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2 (NOX2)-derived peptide (sNOX2-dp), and asymmetric dimethylarginine (AD
