Functional assessment measurements using adhesive tape removal test before and 24 h after MCAO for saline (vehicle) and peptide (R12, R15, R18; 1000 nmol/kg) treatment groups. Post-MCAO assessment was performed immediately before euthanasia. No treatment significantly improved adhesive tape detection or removal times for the left or right paw. Values are mean ± SD; N = 11 for vehicle, N = 7 for R12, N = 8 for R15 and N = 8 for R18. Maximum time allowed for adhesive tape removal was 120 s
