Fig. 4. Stroke phenotype in salt-loaded rats.

Fig. 4

SHR-A3 and SHR-A3(Stim1-B2) rats were maintained for 8 weeks on a stroke-inducing diet (1% NaCl in drinking water) starting at 20 weeks of age. a Gross morphology of the brains from SHR-A3 rats revealed global cerebral edema, evidenced by the filling in of major brain sulci (dashed arrows) in SHR-A3 rats. A hemorrhage is also visible (solid arrow). b Quantification of microbleeds in SHR-A3 and SHR-A3(Stim1-B2) rats. c Representative image of a brain slices showing a hemorrhagic lesions (solid arrow) and microbleeds (dashed arrows) in SHR-A3 rats. Hash (#) indicates P < 0.05 vs SHR-A3 with n = 9 (SHR-A3), n = 10 (SHR-A3(Stim1-B2)).
