<p>(A) Representative TTC images showing infarct size 3 d after MCAO. The normal tissue was stained deep red and the infarct area was stained pale gray. (B) Statistic bar graph of brain infarct size in vehicle or HUK-treated rats at 1 d, 3 d, and 7 d after MCAO. **<i>p</i><0.01 <i>versus</i> vehicle group, N = 6. (C) Neurological performance of rats in each group assessed with longa score at 3 h, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, and 14 d after reperfusion. *<i>p</i><0.05 <i>versus</i> control group, N = 10 per group.
