Clenbuterol reduces Iba1+ cell numbers and increases cell size in peri-infarct cortex 3 days after photothrombotic stroke. a Representative images of Iba1-immunopositive cells (green) counter-labeled with DAPI (blue) in peri-infarct cortex. b Quantification of Iba1+ cells in peri-infarct cortex showed fewer Iba1+ cells in the brains of clenbuterol-treated mice 3 days after stroke. c Quantification of the area of Iba1 staining per Iba1+ cell count in peri-infarct cortex of clenbuterol- and saline-treated mice. n = 8–10 mice per group. Bars, mean ± SEM; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; scale bar, 10 μm
