| Control | Sham | MCAO | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Progesterone | 1.13 ± 0.3 | 0.50 ± 0.2 | 1.96 ± 0.3a |
| 5α-DHP | 3.30 ± 0.2 | 3.80 ± 0.3 | 4.40 ± 0.2a |
| Allopregnanolone | 1.40 ± 0.2 | 0.57 ± 0.3 | 0.80 ± 0.3 |
Results are shown means ± sem; n = 5 per group. Brain levels are nanograms per gram, and plasma levels are nanograms per milliliter.
P < 0.05 as compared with the corresponding control group by Newman-Keuls tests after one-way ANOVA.
