PDGFR-β deletion exacerbated edema formation and impaired functional
recovery after cerebral ischemia. (a) Absolute brain water content,
edema formation and space-occupying effect of edema in control mice
(Floxed, n = 7) and PDGFR-β knockout mice (Esr-KO,
n = 7) from 3 to 14 days after MCAO and
sham-operated mice. (b) Adhesive removal test performances.
Contralesional contact time and removal time, ipsilesional contact
time and removal time in Floxed (n = 7) and Esr-KO
(n = 7) mice before and after MCAO. (c)
Percentage of right turns in Floxed (n = 7) and
Esr-KO (n = 7) mice before and after MCAO.
