Figure 5

Neuronal apoptosis at 72 h after reperfusion. (Upper) Representative photomicrographs of TUNEL staining in the ischemic penumbra. The arrowhead indicates TUNEL-positive cell. Scale bars = 20 μm. (Bottom) Quantitative analysis of the number of TUNEL-positive cells in the ischemic penumbra. Pretreatment with EA significantly decreased the number of TUNEL-positive cells, while the α7nAChR antagonist α-BGT attenuated the reduction (n = 5). *P < 0.01 vs. MCAO, #P < 0.01 vs. EA+MCAO.
