Assessments of brain water content and neurologic deficit. a, b Quantification of brain water content in the indicated groups at 24 h (a) and 72 h (b) after tMCAO or sham surgery (*p < 0.05 vs. Sham + saline group, ^#p < 0.05 vs. tMCAO + CORM-3 group, n = 6 per group). c Neurologic deficits were significantly less in the CORM-3-treated tMCAO mice than in the saline-treated tMCAO mice on days 3, 7, and14 (*p < 0.05, n = 10 per group). Data are shown as mean ± SD
