rCBF and cortical infarct volume. (A) Representative Laser-Doppler measurement of relative cerebral blood (rCBF) flow over the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery territory before and during tMCAO (1 h). Reduction of rCBF is given as percentage of baseline values. (B) TTC-stained 2 mm coronal brain slices show the white infarct area 24 h after tMCAO. Red color indicates intact tissue. (C) Arrowhead indicates the cingulated cortex, arrow the hippocampus. Quantitative data of the measurement of lesion volumes are given in (D). Note that lesion volumes are comparable in WKY and SHR rat strains. Data represent means ± SEM. For further abbreviations see text.
