TIGAR alleviates oxidative stress in brain with extended ischemia via a pentose phosphate pathway-independent manner

TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) alleviates oxidative stress and protects against ischemic neuronal injury by shifting glucose metabolism into the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP).However, the brain alters glucose metabolism from PPP to glycolysis during prolonged ischemia.It Sunscreens is still unknown whether and how TIGAR e
