From: Optimizing intraluminal monofilament model of ischemic stroke in middle-aged Sprague–Dawley rats
The use of 0.43 monofilament results in larger infarct volume in middle aged male SD rats > 500 g. A Infarct volume, 24 h following 90 min transient proximal MCAO (*p = 0.0391, one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons) B Representative brain slices, per monofilament group, following 1% TTC staining 24 h post-MCAO. The black star denotes infarcted hemisphere per slice. Data presented as Mean ± SD
