Combined swimming with melatonin protects against behavioural deficit in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury induced rats associated with modulation of Mst1– MAPK ‐ERK signalling pathway

The protective contribution of combined strategy is associated with modulation in Macrophage-stimulating 1/mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MST1/MAPK/ERK) pathway which may explain, at least in part, its protective potential.
