Targeting Oxidative Stress Injury after Ischemic Stroke in Conscious Rats: Limited Benefits with Apocynin Highlight the Need to Incorporate Long Term Recovery

Figure 7

Immunohistochemical localization of activated microglia/macrophages by OX-42 in the stroke-affected cortex ((b), (d)) and the contralateral mirror image ((a), (c)), in vehicle control ((a), (b)) and apocynin- ((c), (d)) treated rats. Cell counts of micrographs taken from the stroke-affected cortex show no effect on the number of OX42 positive cells between vehicle control and apocynin treatment (e). ***P < 0.001 versus contralateral control. Scale bar = 50 μm.
