This animal study (n=30) investigated the role of salvinorin A (10 and 20µg/kg) in cerebral pial artery protection in a rat model of forebrain ischemia injury and found that salvinorin A treatment preserved the autoregulation of the cerebral pial artery, protected the brain tissues from ischemia injury by decreasing cell death, and hastened the recovery of their motor functions.
