Metformin, rapamycin, or NMN pretreatment ameliorates WMLs in BCCAO rats. (A) Representative images of Luxol fast blue (LFB) staining in the corpus callosum (CC), internal capsule (IC), and striatum (Str) in BCCAO or sham rats pretreated with vehicle (Veh), metformin (Met), rapamycin (Rapa), or NMN (NMN) at 2 weeks before surgery. (B–D) Quantitative analysis of WMLs in BCCAO or sham-operated rats after treatment. The extent of WMLs was graded as normal (Grade 0), disarrangement of nerve fibers (Grade 1), formation of marked vacuoles (Grade 2), and loss of myelinated fibers (Grade 3). All data were shown as mean ± SEM, n = 6 per group. The p-values were assessed by Kruskal–Wallis test with a Dunn post-test. 2VO, two-vessel occlusion.
