Figure 1From: Hydrogen saline offers neuroprotection by reducing oxidative stress in a focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rat modelInfarction and brain edema. A: Coronal sections from ischemic rat brain stained with TTC. Administration of hydrogen saline was performed 0, 3, or 6 h after reperfusion. B: Hydrogen saline significantly reduced infarct volume when compared with MCAO group (**P < 0.01 vs. MCAO). C: Brain water content was increased at 24 h after MCAO (#P< 0.05 vs. sham) and hydrogen saline reduced brain edema when applied at 0, 3, or 6 h after reperfusion (**P< 0.01 vs. MCAO).Back to article page
