Figure 1. Body weight (A), neurobehavioral scores (B) and representative photographs of TTC staining (C) in the cerebral cortices of non-diabetic + sham, diabetic + sham, non-diabetic + middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), and diabetic + MCAO animals. The intact area is shown in red, while the ischemic area is in white. The percentage of ischemic lesion area was calculated as the ratio of the infarction area to the whole section area (D). Data (n=4) are shown as mean ± SEM. ^*P<0.05.
