Neuropeptide α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Promotes Neurological Recovery and Repairs Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Type 1 Diabetes

In conclusion, α-MSH is neuroprotective under hyperglycemic condition against I/R induced brain damage by its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic properties. The use of α-MSH analogues may be potential therapeutic agents for diabetic stroke.PMID:34586586 | DOI:10.1007/s11064-021-03453-4
