Protective effect of 2-deoxy-D-glucose on the brain tissue in rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion models by inhibiting Caspase-apoptotic pathway.

We observed the effect of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) on the brain tissue in rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and explored its mechanism. After observing the effect of 2-DG on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, I/R group and I/R+2-DG group (each group with 60 rats). I/R models were prepared by middle cerebral artery occlusion.
