G-2mPE is designed to be more enzymatically resistant than glycine-proline-glutamate and to increase its bioavailability. The current study has investigated the protective effects of G-2mPE following hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in the neonatal brain. On postnatal day 7, Wistar rats were exposed to hypoxia-ischemia (HI). HI was induced by unilateral ligation of the left carotid artery followed by hypoxia (7.7% O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;\/sub&gt;, 36\u00b0C) for 60 min. The drug treatment started 2 h after the insult, and the pups were given either 1.2 mg\/kg (bolus), 1.2 mg\/ml once a day for 7 days, or vehicle. The degree of brain damage was determined histochemically by thionin\/acid fuchsin staining. G-2mPE\u2019s anti-inflammatory properties were investigated by IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, and IL-18 ELISA, and effects on apoptosis by caspase 3 activity. Vascularization was determined immunohistochemically by the total length of isolectin-positive blood vessels. Effect on astrocytosis was also determined in the hippocampus. Animals treated with multiple doses of G-2mPE demonstrated reduced overall brain injury 7 days after HI, particularly in the hippocampus and thalamus compared to vehicle-treated rats. The expression of IL-6 was decreased in G-2mPE-treated animals compared to vehicle-treated pups, and both the capillary length and astrogliosis were increased in the drug-treated animals. There was no effect on caspase 3 activity. This study indicates that peripheral administration of G-2mPE, starting 2 h after a hypoxic-ischemic insult, reduces the degree of brain injury in the immature rat brain. The normalization of IL-6 levels and the promotion of both neovascularization and reactive astrocytosis may be potential mechanisms that underlie its protective effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000105480","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,10]],"date-time":"2007-09-10T09:50:48Z","timestamp":1189417848000},"page":"393-402","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Delayed
