The effect of GRE 300 mg/kg on the Beam balance beam test (A), lipid-peroxidation (B), and brain water contents (C) after MCAo. Balance beam test was performed at 22 hours after MCAo. The behavior status was scored by 6 grades (A). LPO and brain water content was measured at 24 hours after MCAo. LPO was measured by TBARs assay using TBA and TCA (B). Brain water content was calculated as a percentage (%) by dividing the difference between the wet and dry weight by the wet weight (C). The data are expressed as box-whisker plots: the box represents the 25–75th percentiles, the bar across the box indicates the average of each group, and the whiskers on each box represent the lowest and highest data. Contra and ipsi indicate contralateral and ipsilateral hemisphere, respectively. The numbers in parentheses are the numbers of rats. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 when compared with the vehicle-treated group in one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's test.
