Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Protective agents that can diminish injuries caused by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) are important in alleviating the harmful outcomes of stroke. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective role of sanguinarine in
OBJECTIVE
The mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatases (MKPs) are a family of dual-specificity phosphatases that inactivate MAPKs by dephosphorylation. Impairment of MKP-1 expression in insulin resistance has been suggested to affect the cardioprotective properties of insulin. We hypothesized
