Leptin administration alleviates ischemic brain injury in mice by reducing oxidative stress and subsequent neuronal apoptosis

Abstract

Peripherally administered leptin crossed the blood-brain barrier and was distributed into multiple regions of the brain; in the brain, leptin directly alleviated the injury-evoked damages by reducing oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis.
