Remote Limb Ischemic Postconditioning Protects Against Ischemic Stroke by Promoting Regulatory T Cells Thriving
Background Remote limb ischemic postconditioning (RLIPoC) has been demonstrated to protect against ischemic stroke. However, the underlying mechanisms of RLIPoC mediating cross‐organ protection remain to be fully elucidated. Methods and Results Ischemic stroke was induced by middle cerebral artery o...

RLIPoC was followed by subsequent alteration in metabolites, such as flavin adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate, both in RLIPoC‐conducted local tissues and circulating blood.

Conversely, the depletion of Tregs using depletion of Treg mice compromised the neuroprotective effects conferred by RLIPoC.
