(A) Area of end-feet (μm²). ^*P<0.05 versus 0.5, 3, 5, and 12 hours; ^†P<0.05 versus 5, and 24 hours; ^#P<0.05 versus 12, and 24 hours. (B) Number of mitochondria in end-feet. ^*P<0.05 versus 0.5, 3, 5, and 12 hours. (C) Percentage of obstructed microvessels among all counted microvessels. ^*P<0.05 versus 3, 5, and 12 hours; ^†P<0.05 versus 0.5, 12, and 24 hours. (D) Percentage ratio of carbon-black-suspension-perfused microvessels (CBSPm) in the left ischemic hemisphere to all CBSPm in the corresponding position of the opposite (right) nonischemic hemisphere. ^*P<0.05 versus 3, 5, 8, and 12 hours; ^†P<0.05 versus 0, 0.5, 3, 5, 12, and 24 hours. ^#P<0.05 versus 0, 12, and 24 hours.
