Changes in the GSH levels in astrocytes and neurons in penumbra after 90 min ischemia and 24 h reperfusion. (A) Representative two-photon fluorescence images of GSH–MCB labeled cortex in a coronal brain slice from an ischemic rat in contralateral side (AOI #2) and penumbra (AOI #2*). Arrows, astrocytes; wedges, neurons. (B) Averaged GSH concentrations in astrocytes. (C) Averaged GSH concentration in neurons. Results in B and C are expressed in box-whiskers (n=10 animals, averaged three slices for each animal). *P<0.05, **P<0.01, compared with contralateral side.
