Figure 2. Hemorrhagic transformation is reduced by glibenclamide in cohort 1.
(A) Examples of the different HT categories are provided. HI1: small petechiae along the periphery of the infarct; HI2: confluent petechiae within infarct area; PH1: blood visible within <30% of infarct area. There was less severe HT in the animals treated with glibenclamide (white bars) compared to control (gray bars; p<0.001). (B) Quantitative assessment of HT density on brain slice photographs also showed that glibenclamide reduced the mean density ratio (*** p<0.001). (C) The mean density ratio on photographs correlated with brain hemorrhage volume measured using spectrophotometry (r=0.76, p<0.001). (D) Accordingly, glibenclamide reduced brain hemorrhage volume relative to control (**, p=0.01).
