A synthetic BBB-permeable tripeptide GCF confers neuroprotection by increasing glycine in the ischemic brain

Background: We and others have previously demonstrated that glycine is neuroprotective in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. But glycine has low permeability to the blood–brain barrier (BBB). To deliver glycine into the ischemic brain to confer neuroprotection, we designed a novel glycine-contain...
