Brief description This project will test whether a target protein for estrogen, called GPER, which is found in high levels in the brain, worsens stroke outcome. We will identify the key signalling pathways related to GPER in the brain after stroke and we hope to identify a new type of drug that could be used to treat stroke patients. It is possible that our work could at least partly explain why hormone replacement therapy can increase the risk of worsened outcome after stroke in women.
