Effect of GLGZD on cerebral infarction in MCAO model rats. (A) Representative 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride-stained brain coronal sections of the four groups. The normal tissue was stained to red-blue and the infarct area was stained to pale pink. (B) Infarction rate was quantified using the Motic Med 6.0 system. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation from five individual rats in each group. ^*P<0.05, vs. sham-surgery group, ^#P<0.05, vs. model group. MCAO, middle cerebral artery occlusion; GLGZD, Gualou Guizhi decoction; GLGZD-1, rats that were administered 7.2 g/kg GLGZD; GLGZD-2, rats that were administered 14.4 g/kg GLGZD.
