Delayed Administration of the Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Analog Liraglutide Promoting Angiogenesis after Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Mice

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs administered before or after cerebral ischemia have been shown to provide neuroprotection. Here, we explored whether delayed administration of a GLP-1 analog, liraglutide, could improve long-term functional recovery and promote angiogenesis after stroke.
