Figure 2From: Early events triggering delayed vasoconstrictor receptor upregulation and cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhageDuration of acute CBF drop during SAH determines delayed neurological deficits, CBF reduction and mortality. (A) CBF measured by the 14C-iodoantipyrine method at 3 days after surgery in sham-operated rats, SAH-induced rats with prolonged acute CBF drop and SAH-induced rats with short acute CBF drop. (B) Rotating pole scores obtained at 3 days after surgery by sham-operated rats, SAH-induced rats with short acute CBF drop and SAH rats with prolonged acute CBF drop. (C) CBF-AUC20 min values for animals surviving until termination at 4 days post-SAH (4 days survivors) and animals that died at 3-4 days post-SAH (4 days dead), respectively. All data are means ± s.e.m. *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01 as determined by student’s t-test.Back to article page
