ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods of treating cerebral ischemia in mammals comprising inducing hypothermia in a mammal before, during, or following cerebral ischemia in the mammal. The hypothermia is induced by administering to the mammal an effective dose of a neurotensin analog that is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and that comprises neo-tryptophan.
