Fig. 2From: Optimizing intraluminal monofilament model of ischemic stroke in middle-aged Sprague–Dawley ratsPre-reperfusion cerebral blood flow (CBF) is comparable between groups but 0.43 mm severely impacts functional outcome and body weight. A Pre-reperfusion CBF following 90 min of MCAO and expressed as a percentage of baseline CBF. B 10-point neuroscore, 24 h following 90 min MCAO in middle aged male SD rats > 500 g. One-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons. C Change in body weight following 24 h of transient MCAO. Data presented as Mean ± SD, *p < 0.05Back to article page
