Exendin-4 Preserves Blood-Brain Barrier Integrity via Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor/Activated Protein Kinase-Dependent Nuclear Factor-Kappa B/Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Inhibition After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Rat

In this study, we investigated the role of Exendin-4 (Ex-4), a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rats. The endovascular perforation model of SAH was performed in Sprague-Dawley rats. Ex-4 was intraperiton...
