Ang-(1-7) treatment for 7 days significantly attenuates lesion growth from 60 min MCAO lesion. (a) Ischaemic lesion evolution from 60 min MCAO (prior to therapy) to 7 days post MCAO along with therapy for each individual animal in both vehicle (1 μl/hr aCSF; n = 13) and Ang-(1-7) (1.1 nmol/hr; n = 13) treated groups. Ischaemic lesion and reperfusion extent varies amongst rats. (b,c) Ang-(1-7) ICV therapy along with reperfusion significantly decreases ischaemic lesion evolution from 60 min MCAO to 7 days post MCAO compared to vehicle. (d) Therapy effects are independent of systolic BP induced alterations from pre to 7 days post MCAO (n = 12–13 per group). (e,f) Final infarct volume or neurological score evaluated at day 7 only did not differ amongst groups (n = 13 per group). Data are presented as mean ± S.D; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; unpaired Student’s t test.
