Zusammenfassung
Microvascular basal lamina integrity plays an essential role in blood-brain barrier disturbances following ischemic stroke. About 9% of stroke patient treated with rt-PA experience a thrombolysis-related secondary intracerebral hemorrhage. There is a need to find alternative thrombolytic substances with reduced adverse effects. We examined the influence of microplasmin (recombinantly generated truncated plasmin with thrombolytic action) on microvascular damage, blood brain barrier disruption and amount of endogenous tPA and uPA after focal ischemia and reperfusion in the rat. Male whistar rats were subjected to…
