Illustrated BBB breakdown 24 h following MCAO or laser injury groups compared to naïve rats. In Fig. 2a shows the BBB breakdown in the non-injured hemisphere 24 h after laser procedure (presentation by sections). Comparison of laser groups with naive rats. In Fig. 2b shows the BBB breakdown in the non-injured hemisphere 24 h after laser procedure (presentation of the hemisphere average value). Comparison of laser groups with naive rats. In Fig. 2c shows the BBB breakdown in the injured hemisphere 24 h after laser procedure (presentation by sections). Comparison of laser groups with naive rats. In Fig. 2d shows the BBB breakdown in the injured hemisphere 24 h after laser procedure (presentation of the hemisphere average value). Comparison of laser groups with naive rats. In Fig. 2e shows the BBB breakdown in the non-injured hemisphere 24 h after laser and MCAO procedures (presentation by sections). Comparison of treatment groups with naive rats. In Fig. 2f shows the BBB breakdown in the non-injured hemisphere 24 h after laser and MCAO procedures (presentation of the hemisphere average value). Comparison of treatment groups with naive rats. In Fig. 2g shows the BBB breakdown in the injured hemisphere 24 hours after laser and MCAO procedures (presentation by sections). Comparison of treatment groups with naive rats. In Fig. 2h shows the BBB breakdown in the injured hemisphere 24 h after laser and MCAO procedures (presentation of the hemisphere average value). Comparison of treatment groups with naive rats. The data (Evans blue extravasation) are measured in ng/g of brain tissue and expressed as mean ± SEM. Red color indicates significance (P < 0.01)
