Neonatal encephalopathy is associated with high
mortality and morbidity rates worldwide. There is an
unmet need to develop novel, non-invasive approaches,
which can be used alone or in combination with
hypothermia to augment neuroprotection. The aim of this
study was to assess whether hind limb remote IPostC
after transient hypoxia-ischaemia (HI) is
neuroprotective based on 1H and 31P MRS cerebral
biomarkers and immunohistochemistry in a piglet model of
perinatal asphyxia. Remote IPostC was neuroprotective
based on reduced WM Lac/NAA at 48h and reduced TUNEL
positive cells in WM. Whole brain 31P MRS NTP/epp was
preserved with remote IPostC.
