Abstract
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 is activated during acute phase of stroke and contributes to stroke pathology. We have found that acute treatment with MEK1/2 inhibitors decrease infarct size and neurological deficits two days after experimental stroke. However it is not known whether benefits of this inhibition persist long-term. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess neurological function, infarct size and recovery processes 14 days after stroke in male rats to determine long-term outcome following acute treatment with the MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126.
