In the hippocampus, GH significantly reduced apoptotic cell death rate after an experimental stroke [25], decreased loss of neural tissue, and increased the expression of neurotrophic factors, synaptogenesis, and myelination biomarkers, as well as the formation of new blood vessels within the peri-infarct area, and provoked an improvement in cognitive function in experimentally stroked mice [26]. Here, GH1 is linked to Stroke.
