BLVRA attenuated ventricular dilation and brain tissue loss. Nissl staining evaluated at 28 days after GMH (A). Quantification of brain weight (B), ventricular volume (C), cortical thickness (D), grey matter loss (E), and white matter (F) at 28 days after GMH. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with sham group, #P < 0.05 compared with sham group. N = 6 each group.
