Figure 7.

Representative images of TUNEL (A–D), NeuN (A′–D′), and vGLUT1 (A‴–D‴) staining at the peri-infarct area in the sensorimotor cortex of the control group (A–A‴); diet group (B–B‴); PA group (C–C‴); and PA/diet group (D–D‴). (E) Quantification of the percentage (%) of NeuN+ cells with TUNEL labeling, * p = 0.0149. (F) Quantification of vGLUT1 immunoreactivity, * p = 0.0153 (diet group), * p = 0.0376 (PA group), ** p = 0.003 (PA/diet group). Scale bars: 100 μm. Bars show mean ± SEM. A total of 3 sham rats and 5 rats per remaining group were used in all experiments, with 250 cells quantified per animal.
