Vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietins in focal cerebral ischemia

Zhenggang Zhang et al. Trends Cardiovasc Med. 2002 Feb.

Abstract

A growing body of evidence indicates that vascular growth factors and their receptors are activated after stroke, and these factors may contribute to ischemic cell damage and to angiogenesis during recovery from stroke. In this review, we focus on recent evidence for roles of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin 1 (Ang 1) in blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage and angiogenesis after focal cerebral ischemia.
