Highlights • Ischemia down-modulates HO-1 gene repressor Bach-1 and induces HO-1 expression. • HO inhibitor ZnPP induces HO-1 in brain vessels 24 h after systemic administration. • Treatment with ZnPP 24 h before ischemia exacerbates inflammation and brain damage. • Treatment with ZnPP 30 min before...
