Reduction of Ischemic and Oxidative Damage to the Hypothalamus by Hyperbaric Oxygen in Heatstroke Mice

Table 3

Hypothalamic neuronal damage score values for different groups of mice ( 𝑛 = 8 per group).

Treatment groupsNeuronal damage scoresP
(Range, 0–3)

(1) Normothermic (NT) mice received normobaric air (NBA)0 (0, 0)
(2) NT mice received hyperbaric oxygen (HBO)0 (0, 0)
(3) Heatstroke (HS) mice received NBA2 (2, 2) 𝑃 < . 0 0 1
(4) HS mice received HBO0 (0, 0) 𝑃 < . 0 0 1

When exactly 4 hours post-HS, the neuronal damage scores were obtained.
