Figure 7From: Neuroprotective effect of the hairy root extract of Angelica gigas NAKAI on transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats through the regulation of angiogenesisEffect of AG extract on the changes of water content in the brain of MCAO-induced ischemic rats. After MCAO/reperfusion, Evans blue was refused into the brains through i.p. injection. The brains were isolated, and measured the blue-positive area (A) by photo and the blue density in brain extract by spectrophotometry (B). Data in the histogram are expressed as means ± SD of three independent experiments (n = 3 per group). ***P < 0.001 vs. sham; and ###P < 0.001 vs. vehicle.Back to article page
