Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor protects against ischemia/hypoxia-induced brain injury in neonatal rat
Ischemic/hypoxic brain damage induced in 7-day-old rats was significantly attenuated in a dose-dependent manner by intracerebral injection of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF; 2 or 4 μg) with...
