Fig. 1From: Effects of isoflurane and xylazine on inducing cerebral ischemia by the model of middle cerebral artery occlusion in miceSchematic presentation of the experimental design. Animals were subjected to transient focal ischemia for 60 min after MCAo. Animals were randomly divided into four groups: sham group (no MCAo), control group (Con, MCAo under Isoflurane; no agent till reperfusion), isoflurane group (MCAo under Isoflurane, 1.5% isoflurane anesthesia continued till reperfusion), xylazine group (MCAo under Isoflurane, intramuscular xylazine injection (20 mg/kg) 10 min before artery occlusion, and 30 min post-occlusion). 5 (sham), 14 (control), 25 (ISO), 25 (Xyl) animals were used in this studyBack to article page
