Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) improves the outcome of ischemic stroke by recanalization of occluded vessels, but has neurotoxic side effects in experimental stroke models. Here, the effect of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), an endogenous inhibitor of t-PA, on ischemic infarct volume was studied. METHODS: After either permanent ligation or thrombotic occlusion of the...
