Pharmacological inhibition of iNOS prevents ischemia-induced cell birth. Representatives of the BrdU labeling in the ipsilateral dentate gyrus of AG- (A), and vehicle-treated (B) rats that received sham-operation or focal cerebral ischemia (isc). Scale bars, 200 μm. C, Bar graph shows the summarized data of BrdU+ cells in the ipsilateral dentate gyrus of AG- (filled bars) and vehicle-treated (open bars) rats receiving sham operation or focal cerebral ischemia (n = 8 animals in each group). Data are mean ± SEM; *p < 0.01 compared with sham-operation control (two-tail t test).
