Abstract: The pathophysiology of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is associated with chronic\ncerebral hypoperfusion (CCH). Increased high-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1), a nonhistone\nprotein involved in injury and inflammation, has been established in the acute phase of CCH. However,\nthe role of HMGB1 in the chronic phase of CCH remains unclear. We developed a novel animal\nmodel of CCH with a modified bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) in C57BL/6\nmice. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) reduction, the expression of HMGB1 and its proinflammatory..............
