δ-Opioid receptor activation attenuates oxidative injury in the ischemic rat brain

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>We have recently shown that δ-opioid receptors (DORs) play an important role in neuroprotection from hypoxic injury via the regulation of extracellular signaling-regulated kinase (ERK) and cytochrome <it>c </it>release. S...
