Activation of ERK and Akt Signaling in Focal Cerebral Ischemia: Modulation by TGF-α and Involvement of NMDA Receptor

Cerebral ischemia activates ERK and Akt pathways. We studied whether these activations were affected by treatment with the protective growth factor transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α), and whether they were mediated through N-methyl d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. The middle cerebral artery was occlu...
