title: (S)-4C3HPG reduces infarct size after focal cerebral ischemia.
abstract: This study investigated whether the metabotropic glutamate receptor ligand (S)-4C3HPG can reduce brain damage after focal ischemia in rats. Application of 1 micromol of (S)-4C3HPG (intracerebroventricularly) 5 min after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery significantly reduced the infarct size by 72.3% of the saline control.
