During ischemic stroke, higher glucose level linked worse outcomes were reported even in patients without pre-existing diabetes. Evidence suggest that such worse stroke outcomes were mainly due to production of reactive, toxic glucose metabolites that expands oxidative damage inside the brain. As a consequence of high oxidative stress, microvasculature structures and tight junctions compromised their functionally, infarct volume expands and brain edema exacerbates. In a mouse model of ischemic stroke with induced acute hyperglycaemia, Lauric acid (LA) as a natural saturated fatty acid demonstrated neuroprotection by attenuating infarct volume and brain edema. In addition, in the ipsilateral hyperglycaemic brain, the LA significantly increased the expression of tight junction representative protein (occludin) as well as anti-oxidative markers; Manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn) SOD, Extracellular superoxide dismutase (Ec-SOD) and nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in the ipsilateral region against hyperglycemic ischemic stroke. LA treated animals showed a significant reduction in the production of lipid peroxidation products (4-HNE) in the microvascular structures, maintained the blood brain barrier (BBB) integrity. LA linked neuroprotective outcomes were further confirmed by behavioral tests, where functional outcomes and motor coordination were improved significantly. Furthermore, LA treatment enhanced food intake, decreased mortality rate, and net body weight loss. Conclusively, LA modulated ischemic insult exacerbated by hyperglycemia and provided neuroprotection.
