Abstract | AIMS: MAIN METHODS: KEY FINDINGS:
Minocycline accelerated the recovery of sensorimotor and cognitive functions, attenuated the loss of neuron density, and inhibited astrogliosis in the boundary zone around the ischemic core, but did not affect infarct volume. Minocycline significantly inhibited the increased 5-LOX expression in the proliferated astrocytes in the boundary zone, and in the macrophages/microglia in the ischemic core. SIGNIFICANCE:
Minocycline accelerates functional recovery in the chronic phase of focal cerebral ischemia, which may be partly associated with the reduction of 5-LOX expression.
