Postischemic Long-Term Treatment with Qiangli Tianma Duzhong Capsule Improves Brain Functional Recovery via the Improvement of Hemorrheology and the Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation in a Rat Model of Focal Cerebral Ischemia
Figure 1
Post-ischemic long-term treatment with TMDZ increases the body weight after ischemic stroke. Animals underwent 2 h MCAO and reperfusion and received either an oral administration of TMDZ or vehicle (distilled water) at 2 h MCAO, 4 h reperfusion, and every day later for 28 days, and the body weight was measured every week. Compared to rats in ischemia-reperfusion control (IR Control), TMDZ treatment significantly increased body weight from day 7 (the second week), which persisted throughout the additional 3-week survival period. Values shown are mean ± S.D., . Statistical analysis was carried out with one-way ANOVA followed by a post hoc Tukey test. ## versus sham-operated group (Sham); * and ** versus ischemia-reperfusion control group.
