Melatonin decreases demyelination after MCAO. Representative photomicrographs of SMI32 immunostaining in coronal sections of vehicle or melatonin treated rats at day 10 after MCAO. (b and e) Magnified views of the rectangular boxes marked in (a) and (d), respectively. (c and f) Magnified views of the rectangular boxes marked in (b) and (e), respectively. (g) quantification (%) of SMI‐32 immuno‐positive axon fascicles in the infarct striatum of vehicle (n = 5) and melatonin (n = 6) treated rats at day 10 after transient ischemia. Data are presented as the mean ± SE, **p < 0.01, assessed by two‐tailed unpaired Student's t‐test
