Adrenomedullin Gene Delivery Protects Against Cerebral Ischemic Injury by Promoting Astrocyte Migration and Survival
1 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Adrenomedullin (AM) has been shown to protect against ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial infarction and apoptosis. In the present study, we examined the potential neuroprotective action of delayed AM gene transfer in cerebral ischemia. Three days after a 1-hr occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO), rats were injected intravenously with adenovirus harboring human AM cDNA. The experiment was terminated...
