PNGL decreases the interruption of TCA cycle and improves the malate-aspartate shuttle. Ion image distributions of (A) glucose, (B) citric acid, (C) glutamine, (D) aspartate, and (E) N-acetylaspartate. (F) Quantitative data of glucose, citric acid, glutamine, aspartate and N-acetylaspartate in the striatum and cerebral cortex. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n=5), scale bar =2 cm. ##P<0.01 vs. sham group; *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. MCAO/R group. PNGL, notoginseng leaf triterpenes; MCAO/R, middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion; MALDI MSI, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry imaging.
