Figure 2

Secondary neuronal death is prevented by LOPC at 30 days. (A) Brain map adapted from47 and exemplificative NeuN staining showing the infarct region (*) and the thalamic regions VPL and PO. (B) Identified area of PO SND (dash line, scalebar = 400 μm) and representative images of the PO (scalebar = 70 μm) and VPL (scalebar = 40 μm) areas used for NeuN+ cells count. On the right, quantification shows that LOPC decreases the area of SND in PO and prevents NeuN+ cells decrease in the VPL and PO. Results are shown as the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, 2-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
