Treats Hyperthermia-Induced Neurotoxicity

Adverse environmental circumstances such as heat stress related to hot climates can lead to disturbed mental function. This condition is known as hyperthermia-induced neurotoxicity. Researchers suggest that one of the suitable therapeutic strategies to treat heat-induced mental anomalies related to this condition is cerebrolysin administration. Studies show that cerebrolysin exerts its therapeutic effect through the following important mechanisms:
1. In rats exposed to whole body hyperthermia (increased temperature), cerebrolysin administration induces marked reduction in brain toxicity, thus preventing mental dysfunction related to heat stress. [38]
2. In rats suffering from heat stroke, cerebrolysin exerts superior neuroprotective effects as compared to other neuroprotective agents. [39]
