Drugs that selectively inhibit NOX4 (GKT136901) and NOX5(ML090) reduced BBB permeability, resulting in a significant reduction of infarct volume and direct neuroprotection when given immediately before or at the time of reoxygenation in a mouse model of cerebral ischemia‐reperfusion.[253, 254]. This evidence concerns the gene NOX4 and Cerebral ischemia.
