Fig 2. Infarct volume, neurological function and reperfusion following murine stroke.

Animals were assessed at 24 hours post ischemia. Cerebral infarct volumes are larger (A), and neurological deficit scores increased (B) in mice exposed to nPM when compared to those exposed to filtered air. Percent reperfusion differences do not differ significantly between the two groups (C). * signifies p<0.05. Representative infarcts are shown in panel (D)
