Time course of serum GOT activity in MCAO rats. MCAO rats were treated with saline (control group) (n=6), oxaloacetate (Oxal) 3.5 mg per 100 g (n=6), rGOT1 12.88 μg per 100 g (n=6) and rGOT1 12.88 μg per 100 g plus oxaloacetate 1.5 mg per 100 g (n=6). Treatments were administered at the moment of reperfusion (80 min after occlusion). GOT activity was measured under basal conditions (before surgery), and 1, 3 and 24 h after reperfusion. Data are shown as percentage compared with basal levels±S.E.M. ^**P<0.01 with respect to control group
