1. Os DG, Guo e GMP, são neuroprotetores no modelo de isquemia in vitro (PGO) quando fatias de hipocampo são submetidas a 15 minutos de PGO seguidos de 2 horas de reperfusão na presença destes DG;
2. A Guo não atua via receptores purinérgicos (adenosinérgicos), pois a utilização de antagonistas para estes receptores não inibiu seu efeito protetor;
3. A presença de antagonistas de receptores glutamatérgicos ionotrópicos e
metabotrópicos isolados ou em conjunto não interferiram na ação neuroprotetora da Guo, concluindo que a Guo não atua via estes receptores;
4. A Guo atua no meio extracelular, pois a utilização de inibidores de transporte de nucleosídeos não alterou sua ação neuroprotetora em fatias de hipocampo submetidas a 15 minutos de PGO seguidos de 2 horas de reperfusão;
5. A ação neuroprotetora da Guo em fatias de hipocampo de ratos submetidas à PGO não é alterada pelo bloqueio de transporte de glutamato (captação ou transporte reverso de glutamato);
6. A Guo necessita de Ca++ extracelular para atuar como agente neuroprotetor após a PGO em fatias de hipocampo de ratos, pois ao quelarmos o Ca++ extracelular, a Guo perde seu efeito;
7. O bloqueio do canal de Ca++ potencializa parcialmente o efeito da Guo, mostrando que a Guo não atua diretamente via canais de Ca++ do tipo L;
8. O bloqueio de canal de K+ leva à perda do efeito neuroprotetor da Guo, sugerindo que a ação neuroprotetora da Guo ocorre através da ativação de canais de K+ dependentes de Ca++;
9. A ação neuroprotetora da Guo durante a PGO em fatias de hipocampo ocorre via ativação das vias da PKA, PKC, MEK e PI3K.
