Abstract:
As an important component of the “neurovascular unit”,astrocytes provide protective effect for nervous through intaking excessive excitatory amino acids,providing energy substances,maintaining extracellular K + and water balance,scavenging oxygen free radicals and secreting neurotrophic factor during ischemic stroke.This article elaborates the mechanisms of astrocytes participating in ischemic stroke in recent years.
