Abstract:
Activin is a growth factor belong to the transforming growth factor-? superfamily.Recently,experimental studies have shown that activin and activin A expressed higher in various brain injury models and activin have beneficial roles to neuronal protection.The high correlation of activin and activin A with clinical and biochemical signs of brain injury lead us to suggest that activin and activin A are new possible indicators to predict and treat brain injury.
