Icaritin inhibits neuroinflammation in a rat cerebral ischemia model by regulating microglial polarization through the GPER-ERK-NF- κB signaling pathway

CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that ICT plays roles in inhibiting the inflammatory response and achieving neuroprotection by regulating GPER-ERK-NF-κB signaling and then inhibiting microglial activation and M1 polarization while promoting M2 polarization, which provides a new therapeutic for against cerebral ischemic stroke.PMID:36447154 | DOI:10.1186/s10020-022-00573-7
