Protein kinase C inhibition attenuates vascular ET<sub>B </sub>receptor upregulation and decreases brain damage after cerebral ischemia in rat

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Protein kinase C (PKC) is known to be involved in the pathophysiology of experimental cerebral ischemia. We have previously shown that after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion, there is an upregulation of endothelin receptors...
