Glibenclamide Administration Attenuates Infarct Volume, Hemispheric Swelling, and Functional Impairments following Permanent Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Rats

Figure 4

Glib improves grip strength in a rat model of pMCAO. The rats subjected to pMCAO + vehicle showed significantly (P < 0.05) lower grip-strength scores at both time points compared to sham + vehicle rats. Glib-treated rats showed significantly (P < 0.05) improved average scores at both time points (24 and 48 h after injury) compared to pMCAO + vehicle-treated animals. P < 0.05; *significant difference compared to Sham + Vehicle, #significant difference compared to pMCAO + Vehicle. Values are expressed as mean ± SE.
