Pamoic acid (PA) reduces the oxidative stress and iron deposition in brain 24 h after MCAO. (A) PA reduced the nitric oxide concentration in the ischemic hemisphere 24 h after the MCAO. The One-Way ANOVA, F(2/20) = 15.23, ***P = 0.0002–0.0007 (Bonferroni multiple comparison tests), values are means ± s.e.m, (n for Sham = 8, n for MCAO = 7, MCAO + PA = 8). (B) PA treatment increased autoxidation inhibition in the ischemic hemisphere 24 h after the MCAO, one-Way ANOVA, F(2/25) = 67.55, *P = 0.0174, ***P = 0.0001 (Bonferroni multiple comparison test), values are means ± s.e.m, (n for Sham = 9, n for MCAO = 9, MCAO + PA = 10). (C) PA treatment reduced myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the ischemic hemisphere 24 h after the MCAO. The One-Way ANOVA, F(2/16) = 7.772, *P = 0.0362, **P = 0.0046 (Bonferroni multiple comparison test), values are means ± s.e.m, (n for Sham = 7, n for MCAO = 6, MCAO + PA = 6). (D) PA treatment reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in the ischemic hemisphere 24 h after the MCAO. The One-Way ANOVA, F(2/22) = 7.285, *P = 0.0384, **P = 0.0066 (Bonferroni multiple comparison test), values are means ± s.e.m, (n for Sham = 7, n for MCAO = 11, MCAO + PA = 6). (E) PA treatment increased the catalase activity in the ischemic hemisphere 24 h after the MCAO. The One-Way ANOVA, F(2/20) = 34.72, **P = 0.0057, ***P = 0.0001 (Bonferroni multiple comparison test), values are means ± s.e.m, (n for Sham = 5, n for MCAO = 8, MCAO + PA = 10). (F) PA treatment increased the GSH activity in the ischemic hemisphere 24 h after the MCAO. The One-Way ANOVA, F(2/22) = 10.93, *P = 0.0102, ***P = 0.0004 (Bonferroni multiple comparison test), values are means ± s.e.m, (n for Sham = 10, n for MCAO = 7, MCAO + PA = 8). (G,H,I,J) Iron deposition in the ischemic hemisphere 24 h after the MCAO. (K) PA treatment reduced the integrated density 24 h after the MCAO. *P = 0.0248 (unpaired t-test), values are means ± s.e.m, (n for MCAO = 8, MCAO + PA = 7).
