Figure 5From: Hemopexin induces neuroprotection in the rat subjected to focal cerebral ischemiaNeurological deficit (A) and infarct volume percentages (B) of the rats at 24h after ischemia-reperfusion. Neurological deficit scores were shown as the median (inter-quartile range). Infarct volume percentages were expressed as mean ± SEM. Treatment with HPX improved neurologic scores and reduced brain infarct volumes in a dose-dependent manner. ** P<0.01 in comparison with the control group; ## P<0.01 in comparison with the vehicle group; * P<0.05 in comparison with the control group; #P<0.05 in comparison with the carrier vehicle group; ※P<0.05 in comparison with the medium-dose group. (n=10 for each group).Back to article page
