Hemin is cytotoxic, and contributes to the brain damage that accompanies hemorrhagic stroke. In order to better understand the basis of hemin toxicity in astrocytes, the present study quantified hemin metabolism and compared it to the pattern of cell death. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression was fir
## Abstract Ischemia has different consequences on the survival of astrocytes and neurons. Thus, astrocytes show a remarkable resistance to short periods of ischemia that are well known to cause neuronal death. We have used a cell culture model of stroke, oxygen, and glucose deprivation (OGD), to c
