(A) Experimental timeline indicating periods of ad libitum access to a complete diet (AL, n = 15) or restricted access to a protein-free diet (PF, n = 14) relative to the onset of tMCAO on day 0. (B) TTC-stained brain sections showing infarct size (white area). (C) Total infarction volume on d2 after tMCAO; *p = 0.0396, Student's t-test. (D) Average maximal infarction area from the slice with the largest infarction area per animal; *p = 0.0320, Student's t-test. (E) Biased body swing activity in 20 trials; **p = 0.0016, Mann-Whitney U-test. (F) Behavioral performance assessed by modified Bederson's score; *p = 0.0396, Mann-Whitney U-test.
