| Objective:1.To explore the neuroprotective effect of GLP-1/GIP dual-receptor agonist DA3-CH and GLP-1 single-receptor liraglutide on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats with diabetes(neurological function)Defect score,infarct size)2.To investigate the effects of DA3-CH and liraglutide on endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in a rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury with diabetes,and to clarify its effects on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in diabetic rats Neuroprotective mechanisms of injury(endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins,apoptosis-related proteins)3.To observe and compare the strength of neuroprotective effect of DA3-CH and liraglutide in a rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury with diabetes,and the effect on endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosisMethods:1.Groups:72 SD male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:① blank group(Sham group,n=18);model group(Saline group,n=18);DA3 treatment group(DA3 group,n=18));Liraglutide treatment group(Lir group,n=18)2.Intervention measures:No treatment was given to the Sham group,and they were raised in the same environment as the other groups.The other 3 groups used STZ to induce the diabetes model.After successful diabetic membrane formation,DA3-CH and liraglutide(10 mmol/kg,once/day)were injected intraperitoneally3.Determination method:14 days after intraperitoneal injection of drugs,blood glucose of rats was measured.Subsequently,the Saline group,DA3 group,and Lir group were used to prepare the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model(MCAO).After 2 hours of ischemia and 22 hours of reperfusion,the modified nervous system severity score(mNSS score)was evaluated,and the brain was decapitated and taken.The area of cerebral infarction was measured by TTC staining,and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins(GRP78,CHOP,Capasel2),and apoptosis-related proteins(NEUN,Bax,Bcl-2)were determined by immunohistochemistry and
