Background and Purpose Occlusion in cerebral vessels resuits in ischemic stroke and is followed by proliferation of microvessels, ie, angiogenesis. The process is particularly marked in the bolder zone of the infarct, known as the ischemic penumbra. This increase in vascularization is likely to be caused by the action of angiogenic factors, such as TGF-beta 1, which is a powerful regulator of angiogenesis.Methods In this study we examined 10 brain samples from patients who suffered from ischemic stroke for the expression of mRNA encoding TGF-beta 1.Results The ischemic penumbra contained the highest levels of TGF-beta 1 mRNA, whereas the normal contralateral hemispheres had the least (P
