Glycyrrhizin Attenuates Toll Like Receptor-2, -4 and Experimental Vasospasm in a Rat Model

Figure 1

Comparison of lumen cross-sectional areas of the basilar artery. (a): representative micrographs of the cross-section of basilar artery obtained from the sham operated rat (A), the vehicle-treated SAH rat (B), SAH rat precondition treated with glycyrrhizin (C), and glycyrrhizin pretreatment in SAH animals (D), and SAH rat received glycyrrhizin after the induction of hemorrhage (E). Standard bar = 200 μm (b): quantification of the lumen cross-sectional areas. All values are mean ± SD ( ). Glycyrrhizin exerted a potential to alleviate the vasospastic response when compared with the vehicle +SAH group. , , : compared with the SAH group.
