Figure 5

Dose-response curve of MCAs from sham animals, ischemic side, and contralateral side to sodium nitroprusside (SNP) at 2 days (sham: n=5; ischemic MCA: n=6; non-ischemic MCA: n=6) and 2 weeks (sham: n=5; ischemic MCA: n=7; non-ischemic MCA: n=7) after transient MCAO. SNP induced a robust vasodilation in MCAs from the sham controls (Sham MCA), which was almost non-existent in MCAs from ischemic (Ischemic side MCA) and non-ischemic (Contralateral side MCA) hemisphere at 2-days (A) and 2-weeks (B) after ischemic stroke. * p<0.05 vs Sham MCA.
