^*Laser-Doppler flowmetry was used to measure CBF for inclusion/exclusion. Measurements are taken 1) baseline prior to occlusion, 2) ischemia immediately after occlusion is initiated and 3) reperfusion immediately after occlusion is removed. Values are represented as % of baseline±SD.

^†Mice were excluded the study if they did not reach ≤80% drop in blood flow from baseline.

^‡Mortality figures illustrate mice who died <24 hours following MCAo.
