Study subjects, age at study, pre-study treatment, and numbers of animals.
| Subjects | Tissue Examined | N |

| Non-ischemic fetus at 87–90 days of gestation | Cerebral Cortex and White Matter | 6 |
| Non-ischemic fetus at 122–127 days of gestation | Cerebral Cortex | 6 |
| Non-ischemic fetus at 135–137 days of gestation | Cerebral Cortex and White Matter | 6 |
| Adult pregnant sheep at 87–90 days of gestation | Cerebral Cortex and White Matter | 7 |
| Adult pregnant sheep at 135–137 days of gestation | Cerebral Cortex and White Matter | 6 |
| Adult non pregnant sheep at 3 years of age | Cerebral Cortex | 3 |
| Fetal brain ischemia/48h reperfusion at 120–129 days of gestation | Cerebral Cortex | 5 |
| Fetal brain ischemia/72h reperfusion at 120–129 days of gestation | Cerebral Cortex and White Matter | 6 |
Values for age are range in days of gestation or years; Full term in sheep is 145–150 days of gestation
