In vivo, a middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model was created in rats. The neuroprotective effects of hirudin were assessed using the modified neurological severity score (mNSS), Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, and immunofluorescence staining. DKK-1, a specific inhibitor of this pathway, was introduced in order to investigate the role of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
