Figure 1From: Physical exercise improves functional recovery through mitigation of autophagy, attenuation of apoptosis and enhancement of neurogenesis after MCAO in ratsNeurological function score, nissl staining, infarct area. (A, B) Neurological function scores and infarct area in control and physical exercise group (n=10). (C) Nissl staining of brain tissues at 14 days after transient MCAO. The location of infarct area was labelled by black stars, and the peri-infarct region was labelled by black squares. Values are mean ± SD, * p< 0.05, *** p< 0.001. Scale bar in C apply to C. PE = physical exercise and Con = control.Back to article page
