Postischemic Administration of HLDF-6 Peptide Ameliorates Cognitive Dysfunction and Brain Damage Induced by Chronic Cerebral Ischemia in Rats

摘要

Currently, the problem of ischemic stroke is becoming more and more topical. In Russia, stroke ranks second among the causes of population mortality and is the main cause of persistent disability: over 20% of patients who survived stroke become disabled and need assistance of other persons. Acute brain injuries usually develop in able-bodied persons younger than 60 years old. Ischemic brain injuries (ischemic stroke) prevail among all stroke types. Thus, ischemic stroke is a problem of great medical and social importance.
