Filtrate of Phellinus linteus Broth Culture Reduces Infarct Size Significantly in a Rat Model of Permanent Focal Cerebral Ischemia

Figure 3

Effect of administration of Phellinus linteus culture filtrate on infarct volume in cortex: comparing pre-ischemic treatment (30 min before ischemic onset) and post-ischemic treatment (30 min after ischemic onset). Infarct volumes (%) are presented as mean ± SD, and are calculated by the “indirect method". G4 (low dose) and G5 (high dose) are pre-treatment groups and G6 (low dose) is post-treatment group. Cortical infarct volume is significantly reduced in the group administered the filtrate 30 min after ischemic onset (G6) compared with the group administered the same dose 30 min before ischemic onset (G4). *Statistically significant differences.
