Na+ accumulation was characterized either by the [Na+]br increase rate measured by MRI (Slope, left columns) or, independently, by [Na+]br at the end of experiment as measured directly by emission flame photometry ([Na+]EFP right columns). The data were obtained from ROIs characterized as ischemic by ADC (i.e., ADCi/ADCc < 0.8). R, correlation coefficient ± SD; P, statistical significance of the correlation.
For the rat #3, ADC data were unavailable.
Slope values are not statistically significant.
Statistically significant.
NA = not available.
