Representative images of HE staining and TUNEL staining performed on sections from ischemic cortex at 48 h after ischemia/reperfusion in rats (TUNEL-positive cells in green, DAPI in blue; Scale bar = 20 μm).
Quantitative analysis of TUNEL-positive cells are also exhibited. (n = 8 animals for each group). *, P < 0.05 vs sham and #, P < 0.05 vs vehicle + I/R.
