Metallothionein-II Inhibits Lipid Peroxidation and Improves Functional Recovery after Transient Brain Ischemia and Reperfusion in Rats
Figure 3
Representative photomicrographs at hippocampus level of transient cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) evaluated 72 h after damage. (a) and (b) are from animals with I/R treated with 250 μL of saline solution (I/R). (c) and (d) are from rats submitted to I/R plus MT-II. Both groups were administered at 30 min and 8 h after cerebral ischemia. (a) and (c) brain sections without specifying the area. (b) and (d) infarct area in mm2. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was applied. Scale bars = 1 mm.
