Recent evidence indicated that hydrogen sulfide is capable of attenuating ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in brain. However, the influence of H2S administration timing on its neuroprotective efficacy has not yet been assessed, thus we aimed to perform this study which used MRI and 1H-MRS in rats with focal cerebral I/R injury. Our study demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide administration at 1 minute before reperfusion showed better neuroprotective effect than that at 30 minutes before reperfusion.
