3 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
Ischemic brain injury was induced in 7-day-old rats by ligation of the left general carotid artery (under ether anesthesia) followed by keeping the animals in hypoxic gas cham- ber containing 8 % of oxygen and 92 % of nitrogen (day 1 of the experiment).
One hour after the exposure to hypoxic conditions the rats of the experimental group were treated with intraperitoneal injections of cortexin at a dose of 1 mg/kg.
The drug was injected daily for 10 days.
