Rats were treated prophylactically with ketoprofen (10 mg/kg s.c.), atropine (0.25 mg/kg s.c.) with two additional doses of ketprofen at 24 and 48 h post-MCAO to control for post-surgical pain. Animals were randomly assigned to receive recombinant human LIF (125 μg/kg i.v.; ProSpec, Ness Ziona, Israel) or PBS (pH 7.4) treatment at 6, 24, and 48 h post-MCAO as previously described (Rowe, Collier et al. 2014 (link), Davis, Collier et al. 2017 (link)). All lab personnel administering drugs were blinded to drug treatments.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
