Two additional groups of 6 animals were submitted to CA but received saline (control) or the RAGE antagonist FPS‐ZM1 (1 mg/kg IV) after ROSC. Rabbits awaken 6 hours after ROSC for the evaluation of neurological outcome for 72 hours, as previously described for the glycyrrhizin study. At the end of the 72‐hour follow‐up, animals were euthanized and brain lesions were evaluated by fluorojade C staining.
