Flow velocity in pial arterioles after dMCAO and RIPerC. (a) Mean RBC velocity of pial vessels from control (sham treated) and RIPerC treated aged rats (bars show mean ± SD). Two-way ANOVA confirmed a significant main effect of Time and a trend towards a main effect of Treatment on flow velocity in measured segments. To better illustrate diameter changes due to stroke and treatment, (b) shows flow velocity data normalized to values measured prior to dMCAO. (c) shows flow velocity normalized to values measured 60 min after ischemic onset (i.e. post dMCAO but pre-RIPerC or sham treatment). Individual means for each animal are plotted, and red lines show the group mean. For both (b) and (c), two-way ANOVAs demonstrated no significant main effects of Time or Treatment and no significant Time × Treatment interactions.
