Overexpression of cerebral AQP4 by MCAO in rats (n = 8 in each group of different treatments). *The numbers of AQP4-positive cells (B) 4 days after MCAO injury was significantly (P < 0.05) increased for MCAO-injured animals treated with an i.v. dose of normal saline (1 mL/kg) compared with MCAO sham controls. ^†The increased numbers of AQP4-positive cells 4 days after MCAO injury was significantly decreased for MCAO-injured animals treated with an i.v. dose of agmatine (100 mg/kg) compared with vehicle controls. The photomicrograph (A) illustrates a typical example for the beneficial effect of agmatine.
