Abstract: AIM: To investigate the effects of the recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on the recovery of nervous function with focal cerebral ischemia in rats. METHODS: The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established by insertion of nylon thread in SD rats. The rhGH was given to the rats in the rhGH-treated group. The infarct size and recovery of nervous function were observed after MCAO. RESULTS: The infarct size in the rhGH-treated group (29±5) % was obviously smaller than that in the simple ischemia group (36±4) %.The recovery of nervous function in the rhGH-treated group was much better than that in the simple ischemia group. CONCLUSION: It is manifested that the rhGH can significantly reduce the injure of brain tissue and recover nervous function caused by cerebral infarction.
