Propofol Downregulates lncRNA MALAT1 to Alleviate Cerebral Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury

Propofol (PPF) is reported to play a protective role in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, including cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which PPF ameliorates CIRI. Kunming mice were used to establish the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)/reperfusion mouse model in vivo. PPF pre-treatment was performed before CIRI. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels...
