Infarct size assessed by means of MRI in MCAO rats. MCAO rats were treated at two different times. (a) saline (control group) (n=6), rGOT1 12.88 μg per 100 g (rGOT1) (n=6) at the moment of reperfusion, and rGOT1 12.88 μg per 100 g (rGOT1+1 h) (n=6) 1 h after reperfusion. (b) Saline (control group) (n=6), rGOT1 12.88 μg per 100 g plus oxaloacetate 1.5 mg per 100 g (Oxal+rGOT1) (n=6) at the time of the reperfusion and rGOT1 12.88 μg per 100 g plus oxaloacetate 1.5 mg per 100 g (Oxal+rGOT1 +1 h) (n=6) 1 h after reperfusion. Data are shown as the mean of infarct volume (mm³)±S.E.M. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 compared with control group at 24 h; ^#P<0.05, ^##P<0.01 with respect to control group at day 7
