简介：
Overview
This study investigates the neuroprotective effects of acidic postconditioning (APC) against cerebral ischemia using two models. The first model involves transferring corticostriatal slices to an acidic buffer after oxygen-glucose deprivation in vitro, while the second model employs inhalation of 20% CO2 following middle cerebral artery occlusion in vivo.
