Progesterone Attenuates Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage-Induced Vasospasm by Upregulation of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase via Akt Signaling Pathway

Figure 2

Bar graphs showing the effects of progesterone on cerebral vasospasm in cross-sectional areas. The average luminal area (mean ± SEM) of basilar arteries is demonstrated for each group of animals. Conversely, the basilar artery luminal areas of the progesterone treated group were markedly larger than those in the SAH-only group. compared with the SAH-only group; , significantly different from the control group.
