Pregabalin suppresses calcium-mediated proteolysis and improves stroke outcome
Pregabalin, a Ca2+ channel α2δ-subunit antagonist with analgesic and antiepileptic activity, reduced neuronal loss and improved functional outcome in a mouse model of focal ischemic stroke. Pregabalin administration (5–10 mg/kg, i.p.) 30–90 min after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperf...
