LTB₄ levels in plasma and cortex of thromboembolic stroke (ES) rats 24 h post-stroke. (a) Plasma LTB₄ levels for pre-ES control (n = 24), and at 3 (n = 15) and 24 h (n = 9) post-ES. ***p < 0.001 against pre-ES or 3 h post-ES by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test. (b) LTB₄ levels in the ipsilateral (ipsi) and contralateral (contra) cortex after ES (n = 4). * t = 2.581, p < 0.05 against the contralateral side by two-tailed independent t test. At 3 h, t = 2.029, p = 0.089. Total number of animals used was 24
