Isolation and primary structure of a neuropeptide hormone from Heliothis zea with hypertrehalosemic and adipokinetic activities.

abstract：:Ischemic stroke is one of major causes of adult morbidity. Recent studies have shown that over-activated microglial cells play a critical role in aggravating cerebral oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) damage by releasing excessive inflammatory cytokines. However, the involving mechanisms are not distinc...
