^aThe neurological state scores are recorded in a blind fashion and expressed as median and interquartile ranges, the 25th to 75th percentile are shown in the parentheses. Baseline represents neurological state of intacte rats. *Denotes significant from the score at 24 h after the MCAO compared to MCAO+ VEHICLE or MCAO groups (p<0.05) (Kruskal-Wallis test with the Mann–Whitney u-test with Bonferroni correction post hoc or Mann–Whitney test when comparing between two groups).
