Figure 1

PSD is observed in OVX rats after focal ischemia (𝑛=20). (a) The percentage of sucrose intake was significantly decreased in OVX rats after MCAO, compared to the controls. Locomotor activity (b) and rearing activity (c) were also reduced in the MCAO animals, compared with sham-operated animals. Data were presented as mean ± SEM. *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.001.
