Aim To evaluate the regulation of thin recipe of Buyang Huanwu decoction on cyclin-dependent kinase 5( Cdk5) expressions in hippocampus tissue of rats after cerebral ischemia. Methods Male SD rats were divided into sham-operation group,MCAO group,Buyang Huanwu decoction group( ig. 3. 15 g · kg~(-1))and its thin recipe composition group( ig. 2. 41 g ·kg~(-1)). Each group was then divided into five subgroups based on the time after administration for 1,3,7,14,28 d respectively. Cdk5 protein and mRNA levels in...
