Xijiao Dihuang Decoction Alleviates Ischemic Brain Injury in MCAO Rats by Regulating Inflammation, Neurogenesis, and Angiogenesis

Figure 2

Neuroprotective effects of XDD, denoted by neurological deficit scores (n=10) and TTC staining. (a) Effects of XDD on neurological deficit scores (n=10) of rats subjected to 2 h MCAO and 5 days of reperfusion injury. (b) Effects of XDD on infarct regions (white) in TTC-stained rat brain sections after MCAO/R injury. (c) Statistical analyses of the effects produced by XDD on infarct volume in TTC-stained sections after MCAO/R injury (n=6). ^##P < 0.01 and ^###P < 0.01 versus sham; P < 0.05, P < 0.01, and P < 0.05 versus model.
