Abstract | AIMS: METHODS: RESULTS: Of the 76 differentially expressed genes, 41 genes were upregulated, and 35 genes were downregulated in SHRSP as compared with SHR. RFK was significantly downregulated in SHRSP. Flavins markedly decreased infarct area in MCAO mice, inhibited apoptosis and death in OGD-treated neurons, and decreased Bax protein expression. CONCLUSIONS: Physiological downregulation of RFK may be a new potential risk factor for stroke, which probably affects the absorbance and utility of riboflavin and further destroys the protective effect of flavins on stroke. RFK might act as a therapeutic target for stroke.
