【 摘 要 】

Hypothermia is an effective neuroprotective strategy for acute stroke. However, in clinical practice, the induction of hypothermia is achieved through the systemic reduction of body temperature (using thermal covers or endovascular cooling devices) which results in a complex system associated in many cases to side effects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the magnetocaloric effect as a potential new therapeutic strategy for stroke by means of an adiabatic magnetic refrigerator device.
