초록

The temporal profiles of the changes of dopaminergic cell and microglial activation induced by transient cerebral ischemia was investigated in the substantia nigral region which lay outside ischemic areas of rat brain after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Transient cerebral ischemia was induced by intraluminal occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery for 2 hand reperfusion was continued for 1, 2. 3. 7. 10. 14. 30, 60. and 120 days. Activated microglial cells were visualized with immunohistochmistry using OX-43 antibody. (omitted)
