Figure 8. Quercitrin is important for cerebral
ischemia/reperfusion injury in vivo.
Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury was induced as described in
Methods. (A) Representative pictures of brain sections stained with
2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride. (B) The infarct volume was
measured by Image J. (C) The Neurological deficit score test was used to
analyze neurological behavior disorder in the surviving animals 24 hours
after MCAO and reperfusion. Neurological findings were scored in a
5-point scale as follows: no neurological deficit=0, failure to extend
right forepaw fully=1, circling to the right=2, falling to extend
right=3 and no spontaneous walking with a depressed level of
consciousness=4. The bars represent the median of the interquartile
range for each group of animals (n = 5). *:P<0.05 and
***:P<0.001 versus vehicle control after ANOVA and Turkey’s
test.
