This study is about quantitative evaluation of
blood-brain barrier stabilization effect of agmatine in
rat models of transient cerebral ischemia using dynamic
contrast-enhanced MRI at early stages to reduce the
complications associated with thrombolytic therapy in
ischemic stroke, and demonstrated the feasibility of
DCE-MRI for the investigation of new therapies.
