The blood-brain barrier and selective vulnerability in experimental thiamine-deficiency encephalopathy in the mouse.

abstract：:In view of the protective effect of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) against metabolic/excitotoxic insults in vitro, we investigated whether BDNF could limit infarct size after permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery in rat (MCAO). BDNF was delivered into the territory of the middle cerebral artery v...
