Abstract

Ischemic stroke is one of the most common forms of cerebrovascular disorders and occupies a leading position in the morbidity and mortality of the population worldwide, and is therefore an important medical and social problem. It has been proved that endothelial dysfunction plays a key role in the mechanisms of ischemic stroke development, so this issue has recently become of great importance, has been actively researched by scientists all over the world, and its relevance has not subsided over the years
