Proliferation of reactive astrocytes and glial scarring is promoted by TMAO. (A) Evaluation of neurological function on MCAO/R rats treated with TMAO. (B) Number of collected chow pellets detected by staircase test in MCAO/R rats treated with TMAO. (C) Scoring results of asymmetry by cylinder test in MCAO/R rats treated with TMAO. (D) Statistical results of TMAO concentration in brain tissues of MCAO/R rats treated with TMAO. (E) Expression of GFAP, Neurocan, and Phophacan detected by immunofluorescence assay in brain tissues of MCAO/R rats treated with TMAO. (F) Expression of GFAP, Neurocan, and Phosphacan determined by Western blotting in brain tissues of MCAO/R rats treated with TMAO. *p < 0.05 compared with sham-operated rats (n = 15). #p < 0.05 compared with MCAO/R rats (n = 15). NS p > 0.05 compared with the control rats (n = 15). One-way ANOVA is employed for data comparison among multiple groups followed by Tukey's post hoc test.
