A: Brain sections after 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining from representative mice in various groups. B: Percentage of brain infarct volume in ipsilateral hemisphere volume. Results are the means ± S.E.M. (n = 9). C: Neurological deficit scores evaluated immediately before the animals were euthanized for the assessment of infarct sizes (data are presented in panel B) or assigned 7 to the animals that died before this end time point for observation. Results are presented in a box plot format (n = 9 – 11). ●: lowest or highest score (the score will not show up if it falls in the 95% interval); between lines: 95% interval of the data; inside boxes: 25 – 75% interval including the median of the data. * P < 0.05 compared with middle cerebral arterial occlusion (MCAO) only group that inhaled oxygen 30 min each day for 5 days before the MCAO.
