Protective effect of acidic fibroblast growth factor against ischemia-induced learning and memory deficits in two tasks in gerbils.

abstract：:Isometric handgrip is commonly used in stress research because the task reliably increases sympathetic arousal. Various handgrip protocols have been used; they vary in handgrip strength, duration of grip, and the number of cycles of handgrip and rest. However, most protocols require the calibration of a maximum volunt...
