Protective effects of GRE on MCAo rat model. Photographs are representative coronal brain sections stained with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride after two hours of MCAo and 24 hours of reperfusion showing infarct area (white) and intact area (red). Graph shows the neuroprotective effects of GRE on MCAo in rats. MCAo was induced by intra-luminal suture method (two hours of ischemia and 22 hours of reperfusion) and samples were treated at 0 and two hours after MCAo. Brain sections were made by isolating at 22 hours after MCAo and stained by 2% 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride. The infarct volume was calculated by dividing the correlated infarct volume (mm3) by the total volume (mm3) of the ipsilateral hemisphere. The data are expressed as box-whisker plots: the box represents the 25–75th percentiles and the bar across the box indicates the average of each group. The whiskers on each box represent the lowest and highest data. * p < 0.05 when comparing with vehicle treated group in one-way ANOVA with Tukey's test. High quality figures are available online.
