(A) Ferritin-positive cells, and the ferritin heavy chain (FTH) and light chain (FTL) protein levels in the basal ganglia at 24 hours after sham operation and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in WT mice. Values (ratio to β-actin) are means±s.d.; n=4 for each group, #P<0.01, *P<0.05 versus ipsilateral side after ICH. Scale bar=50 μm. (B) Ferritin immunoreactivity, and FTH and FTL protein levels in the ipsilateral basal ganglia of lipocalin-2 knockout (LCN2−/−) and WT mice at 24 hours after ICH. Values are means±s.d.; n=7 for each group, #P<0.01 versus WT mice. Scale bar=50 μm.
