We investigated the therapeutic effects of mini-spadin in a mouse model of focal ischemia and PSD.
To activate TREK-1 and induce neuroprotection a single low dose of mini-spadin (0.03 μg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected 30 min after the onset of ischemia, once a day during 7 days post-ischemia.
Then, to inhibit TREK-1 and induce antidepressant effect, the peptide was injected at higher concentration (3 μg/kg) once a day for 4 days/week until the sacrifice of animals.
