Fig 5.
Effects of gemfibrozil (30 mg/kg) on CBF in the ischemic hemisphere after distal MCAO. A, Color coded laser speckle image taken from representative animals in vehicle and gemfibrozil groups. Ischemic hemisphere is shown. Note that the yellow vertical signal on the right edge reflects blood flow in the superior sagittal sinus. B, Graph showing %CBF in the ischemic hemisphere. C, Graph showing %CBF in the ischemic MCA territory. Error bars, SD. Vehicle and gemfibrozil groups are significantly different in both hemisphere and MCA territory(p < 0.05 by repeated measurements).
