In Vivo Model
A total of 108 gerbils (male; body weight, 70-90 g; age, 12 to 16 weeks) were used in this study. The gerbils were randomly divided into the following five groups: the vehicle-treated group (sham group),which was given an equal volume of physiological saline; the carvacrol (CAR)-treated group (CAR group); the model group, which underwent the ligation of the bilateral carotid artery for 5 min followed by the loosening of the arterial clamp for reperfusion; the model + CAR-treated groups, which included the CAR-treated group and the model + CAR-treated groups that were treated with CAR (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg/day, i.p.) for 2 consecutive weeks and the model + DFO-treated groups that were treated with DFO (150 mg/kg/day, i.p.) for 2 consecutive weeks as the positive drug group.

Response regulation Carvacrol provides protection for hippocampal neurons against cerebral ischemia reperfusion in gerbils by inhibiting ferroptosis through increasing the expression of GPx4.
