Glycine promotes functional recovery of ischemic stroke animals independent of glycine receptor activation and the channel activity of NMDARs. For all the three experiments, Glycine (100 µg/100 g, icv) was administered at 3 h following I/R. At 30 min prior to glycine injection, MK-801 (8.0 µg/100 g, icv) and strychnine (1.2 µg/100 g, icv) were injected. (A) Animals treated with glycine have lower scores of mNSS test at day 7 and 14 after I/R compared with I/R + Stry + MK group (n = 10; ANOVA test, *P < 0.05 vs. I/R + Stry + MK). (B) Animals treated with glycine has lower scores of beam-walking test at day 3, 7 and 14 after I/R compared with I/R + Stry + MK group (n = 10; ANOVA test, *P < 0.05 vs. I/R + Stry + MK). (C) Animals treated with glycine has higher ratio in MST test at day 7 and 14 after I/R compared with I/R + Stry + MK group (n = 10; ANOVA test, *P < 0.05 vs. I/R + Stry + MK). Stry: Strychnine; MK: MK-801; Gly: glycine.
