Abdominal Aortic Occlusion and the Inflammatory Effects in Heart and Brain

Figure 2

The effect of AAO on infarct size of brain and heart in mice. The I/R induced infarct volume in different groups was determined by TTC staining. (a) Representative TTC-stained images of brain slices in MCAO model. (b) Quantification of cerebral infarct size at 24 hr after MCAO. (c) Representative TTC-stained images of brain slices in AAO model. (d) Quantification of cerebral infarct size at 24 hr after AAO. (e) Representative TTC-stained images of heart slices in AAO model. (f) Quantification of heart infarct size at 24 hr after AAO. Mean ± SD, n = 6. . TTC, triphenyl tetrazolium chloride; MCAO, middle cerebral artery occlusion.
