Hypothermia attenuates the Et-1-induced infarct size up to 1 week. Effect of hypothermia on the Et-1-induced infarct volume as a function of time in normothermic (n = 4, 10, 5 and 7 at 8, 24, 72 and 168 hours respectively) and hypothermic (n = 5, 8, 7 and 8 at 8, 24, 72 and 168 hours respectively) animals. Data are shown as mm³ (mean ± SEM). *Significantly different compared to the infarct volume at 8 hours as determined by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett post-hoc test. ^§Significantly different (p < 0.05) from normothermic rats as determined by the unpaired t-test.
