Effects of hinokitiol on the protein expression of iNOS in MCAO-reperfusion-induced cerebral homogenates. Rats were pretreated with hinokitiol (0.2 mg/kg or 0.5 mg/kg) before ischemia and compared with the vehicle group or the sham group. All groups are represented as ipsilateral hemisphere. Data are expressed as the means ± SEM (n = 5). ***P < 0.001 compared with sham control group; # P < 0.05 and ### P < 0.001 compared with vehicle control group.
