FIGURE 4.
Electron microscopy data for the hippocampal CA1 area in the three experimental groups. (A) Red circles indicate mitochondria. The average area (B) and total number of mitochondria (C) in the hippocampal CA1 area 30 days after surgery are depicted. (D) The number of injured mitochondria (mitochondrion with crista broken) in the control and BCAS groups. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 6/group). *P < 0.05 compared with the control group, #P < 0.05 compared with the BCAS group; BCAS, bilateral common carotid artery stenosis; BCAO, bilateral common carotid artery occlusion; SD, standard deviation.
