Icaritin inhibits neuroinflammation in a rat cerebral ischemia model by regulating microglial polarization through the GPER–ERK–NF-κB signaling pathway

Abstract Background Activated microglia play a key role in initiating the inflammatory cascade following ischemic stroke and exert proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory effects, depending on whether they are polarized toward the M1 or M2 phenotype. The present study investigated the regulatory effect...
