The scientists say that although carbon monoxide (CO) gas has a long reputation as an odorless, colorless cause of organ damage and even death, there is now evidence that it can protect nerve cells from damage. Some of the brain damage associated with stroke results directly from a cut-off in blood supply to nerve cells.
