Injury To The Brain Following Stroke Reduced By SN Treatment

Stroke is the term used to describe deteriorating brain function due to either the leaking of blood vessels (hemorrhage) or oxygen deprivation (ischemia) in the brain. Secretoneurin (SN) is a neural protein with various roles in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system. For example, SN increases blood vessel formation in mouse corneas, and its production is increased following transient brain ischemia in gerbils. [click link for full article]
