Effect of beta-carotene on ischemic neuronal grading and infarcted area %. (A) Ischemic neuronal grading in cerebral cortex. (B) Ischemic neuronal grading in hippocampus, n = 6, values expressed as median with interquartile changes, ^{a, b} denotes significant difference from sham and I/R control groups, respectively, at p ≤ 0.05. (C) Effect of beta-carotene on infarcted area % in focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model. Infarcted area % represented as ratio of the infarct area to the whole slide area. n = 6, values expressed as mean with interquartile changes, ^{a, b} denotes significant difference at p ≤ 0.05 against sham and I/R control groups, respectively.
