PET Demonstrates Functional Recovery after Treatment by Danhong Injection in a Rat Model of Cerebral Ischemic-Reperfusion Injury

Figure 2

Infarct volume assessed by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining 7 days after transient MCAO. (a) Representative TTC staining of the cerebral infarct in coronal sections of rat brain. (b) Infarct volumes assessed by TTC staining. Groups are as follows: Sham group (Sham), ischemia-reperfusion untreated group (IRU), Danhong injection 1 mL/Kg group (DHI-1), Danhong injection 2 mL/Kg group (DHI-2), and Danhong injection 4 mL/Kg group (DHI-4). The data are expressed as means ± SD ( = 5). * < 0.01 versus Sham, ** < 0.01 versus IRU, # < 0.01 versus DHI-1.
