Post-treatment with PAME, SAME, or Solutol HS 15 after 2 hrs of MCAO decreases
total rat brain infarct volume. Post-treatment with PAME (0.02 mg/kg, IV), SAME
(0.02 mg/kg, IV), or Solutol HS 15 (2 ml/kg, IV) decreased ipsilateral
hemisphere volume as compared to saline (vehicle for Solutol HS 15), DMSO
[partial vehicle for (12-HS), PAME, or SAME], and 12-HS (negative control).
TTC-treated brain slices were scanned and analyzed (Image J software) at the
ipsilateral hemisphere. The percent of brain infarct volume is depicted in white
and tabulated in panel (A) and the total brain infarct volume
(expressed in mm3) is presented in (B). Representative
images are shown below each bar graph corresponding to their relative drug
treatment (A) (n = 6-8, * p ≤ 0.05).
