Microgliosis and astrogliosis corrected for the infarct volume. Graphs (A) and (B) represent the data of the CD-68 and GFAP staining respectively, when corrected for the infarcted area. All infarct volumes were expressed as a percentage of the infarct size in normothermic rats at 8 hours after the infusion of Et-1. The data show that the observed changes in microgliosis and astrogliosis in this study cannot be solely ascribed to differences in infarcted area. *Significantly different (p < 0.05) compared to 8 hours as determined by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett post-hoc test. Ā§Significantly different (p < 0.05) from normothermic rats as determined by the unpaired t-test.
