Magnetic resonance tomography, staining with triphenyltetrazolium chloride, and tests for evaluation of functional disturbances “cylinder” and “limb stimulation” showed that daily intraperitoneal injection of dipeptide mimetic of nerve growth factor GK-2 (1 mg/kg) for 6 days to rats with experimental focal ischemia provoked by unilateral intravascular occlusion of a branch of the middle cerebral artery significantly improved neurological defi cit and decreased the infarction area.
