A. Change in leptomeningeal anastomoses cerebral blood flow (CBF)
calculated as % change from prior to treatment at 30min after middle cerebral
artery occlusion (MCAo). RM 2-Way ANOVA: F (1, 10) = 1.403, p > 0.05 for
treatment, F (17, 170) = 0.6585, p > 0.05 for time, F (17, 170) = 1.102,
p > 0.05 for interaction. # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01 vs.
pre-injection baseline in rapamycin group, Dunnett’s post-test. B. Change
in MCA CBF calculated as % change from reperfusion (125 min post-MCAo). RM 2-Way
ANOVA: F (1, 10) = 8.433, p < 0.05 for treatment, F (20, 200) = 2.113, p
< 0.01 for time, F (20, 200) = 1.202, p > 0.05 for interaction.* p
< 0.05 vs. vehicle, RM 2-Way ANOVA, Sidak’s post-test. # p
< 0.05 vs. post-reperfusion baseline in rapamycin group, RM 2-Way ANOVA,
Dunnett’s post-test. C. Infarct volume at 4 h post-MCAo. D.
Representative TTC stains.
