Аннотация
We compared the effects of GK-2 (dimeric dipeptide mimetic of nerve growth factor) and Mexidol (standard preparation for the therapy of stroke) on rat model of transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. GK-2 and Mexidol were administered intraperitoneally in the most active doses (1 and 100 mg/kg, respectively) 6 h after surgery and then once a day for 6 days. The preparations reduced the volume of cerebral infarction (by 60 and 30%, respectively). At the same time, GK-2 had a pronounced and statistically more reliable effect in a dose that is lower by two orders of magnitude. In addition, GK-2 significantly reduced the neurological deficit in the limb placement test, while Mexidol was ineffective in this test.
