Infarct volume 24 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion in each group.

<p>Infarction volume was determined as a percentage of the contralateral hemisphere. Values were expressed as mean ± SEM (n=6-8 for each group). *<i>P</i><0.05 vs. Non-DB-Con or Non-DB-5HD+Sev; † <i>P</i><0.05, Ins-DB-Con or Ins-DB-Sev vs. DB-Con, §<i>P</i><0.05, Ins-DB-Con vs. Ins-DB-Sev.
