Ghrelin protects adult rat hippocampal neural stem cells from excessive autophagy during oxygen-glucose deprivation.

In conclusion, our data suggest that ghrelin protects adult rat hippocampal NSCs from excessive autophagy in experimental stroke (oxygen-glucose deprivation) model. Regulating autophagic activity may be a potential optimizing target for promoting adult rat hippocampal NSCs based therapy for stroke. PMID: 29057768 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
