[Morphological study of neuroprotective properties of dipeptide mimetic of nerve growth factor (GK-2h) in focal ischemic damage of rat brain prefrontal cortex].

ABSTRACT

The neuroprotective effects of dipeptide GK-2h, a mimetic of nerve growth factor, in bifocal photoinduced ischemia in rat brain prefrontal cortex was studied. It was shown that GK-2h, injected intraperitonealy in dose 0.1 mg/kg in 1 h or 4 h after operation and then on 2nd, 4th and 8th days, prevented significantly on 9th day from increasing volume of cortical infarction.
