Pre-treatment with fenofibrate significantly reduces total infarct volume in MCAO mice compared to standard diet regimes. (a) Photomicrographs of representative cresyl-violet-stained coronal sections through the territory of the MCA reveal infarcts in the (i) control diet and (ii) fenofibrate treated animals and absence of infarct in a (iii) sham surgery animal. (b) Total, cortical and subcortical infarct volumes in the fenofibrate-treated and control animal group. Statistical significance denoted by asterisks where P < 0.05. Bars are mean ± SD.
