We investigated the changes and the molecular mechanisms of cerebral vascular damage after stroke in type-2 diabetic (T2DM) mice. Adult male db/db T2DM and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) and sacrificed 24 hours after MCAo. T2DM-mice exhibited...
