Intravenous Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Reduces Infarct Size and Counterregulates Bax and Bcl-2 Expression After Temporary Focal Cerebral Ischemia

Abstract
Background and Purpose—Pretreatment with intraventricular brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) reduces ischemic damage after focal cerebral ischemia. In this experiment we studied the effect of...
