Comparison between the rat brain infarct volumes among groups

Group	Brain infarct volume (cm3)
Sham-operation control group	0
Operation group	0.426 ± 0.021
Hemin treatment group	0.301 ± 0.019
Ngb treatment group	0.299 ± 0.032
Hemin and Ngb treatment group	0.248 ± 0.029

Rats were treated as in Figure 1. The infract volume (average ± standard deviation) were shown. The operation group, the hemin treatment group, the exogenous Ngb treatment group and the hemin and exogenous Ngb joint treatment group (n = 5/per group) all had right-side homers symptoms after the operations, that is, they were unable to stretch the front left paw forward.
