YC‑1 reduces inflammatory responses by inhibiting nuclear factor‑κB translocation in mice subjected to transient focal cerebral ischemia

3‑(5‑hydroxymethyl‑2‑furyl)‑1‑benzyl‑indazole (YC‑1) is understood to protect against ischemic stroke, but the molecular basis for its neuroprotection remains to be fully characterized. The present study investigated the influence of YC‑1 on inflammatory responses following experimental stroke. Previous studies indicated that nuclear factor (NF)‑κB‑driven signals serve a pivotal role in mediating inflammatory responses following stroke. Ischemic...
