Cortical, striatal, and total hemispheric infarction volumes as determined by 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining (expressed as A) mm³ and indirectly as B) % contralateral structure as a correction for edema) in ovariectomized female Wistar rats fed either a soy-free or a soy-rich diet before 2 hours of middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by 22 hours of recovery from MCAO. There were no differences in regional and total infarction volumes between treatment groups. Values are mean ± SEM.
