Ceftriaxone prevents hypoxia-induced cell death and improves tolerance to excitotoxicity.

<p>Propidium iodide staining (A) and quantification of PI positive cells presented as mean <u>+</u> SD (B) of slices exposed to 100 µM ceftriaxone during 7 days RA, SH or IH at baseline (BL), after 200 µM glutamate, and 10 mM glutamate, followed by a second 200 µM glutamate challenge. baseline (BL) n = 9–12, ^# At 10 mM & 200 µM#2: RA⁺; IH⁺; SH⁺> their respective BL (p<.01).
