Figure 1

Ischemic preconditioning reduces the neuronal damage of the hippocampal CA1 region in rats (confocal microscope images of anti-NeuN staining by indirect immunohistochemistry). A: control group; B: I/R group; C: IPC+ I/R group; D: IPC group. Scale bar = 30 μm; E: bar graph of results of neuronal counting (performed blinded) expressed as number of intact neurons/mm CA1 pyramidal layer (mean ± S.E.M, n = 4 animals). Significant differences were determined by repeated measures ANOVA plus Tukey's test. *** P < 0.001 compared to I/R group.
