News Context: Treatment also prevents damage to brain cells caused by these blood vessel changes, raising hope that it could offer a therapy for dementia. Treating rats with drugs that stop blood vessel cells from becoming dysfunctional reversed the symptoms of SVD and prevented brain damage, tests found. Researchers say that further studies will need to test whether the treatment also works when the disease is firmly established.
Paper Context: This effect is also independent of blood pressure, because normotensive DM rats treated with H+H showed little improvement, and hypertensive DM rats treated with simvastatin and cilostazol showed significant improvements in pathology. We then filtered this resulting list of 32 genes further (Fig. This reduced the list to six genes.
