Figure 1

Identification (definition) of EA pretreatment. This graph shows the infarct volume of brain 24 h after MCAO for 120 min in rats. (a) Representative pictures of coronal sections of rat brain after infarction stained with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazoliumchloride. (b) The bar graph showing the statistical analysis for infarct volumes in 3 groups. CON: control group; ISO: isoflurane pretreatment group; EA: electroacupuncture pretreatment group. (𝑛=10, *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01). This figure was adapted from [10].
