Cystatin C, a protease inhibitor, in degenerating rat hippocampal neurons following transient forebrain ischemia

Cystatin C, a cysteine protease inhibitor produced by the choroid plexus and found in CSF at high concentrations, may have an important role in brain injury. We used the two-vessel occlusion model with hypotension to induce transient forebrain ischemia (TFI) in rats for 10 min and then examined cyst...
