Post-stroke administration of atRA afforded efficient protection against cerebral ischemia. a Schematic diagram showing the time course of atRA treatment after ischemic stroke. b Infarct volume of mice was quantified with TTC (red)-stained coronal sections (N = 6 mice per group). ***P ≤ 0.001, versus PBS-treated group in t test. c Neurological deficit score was assessed right after reperfusion and 1d after tMCAO (N = 6 mice per group). *P ≤ 0.05, versus PBS-treated group in two-way ANOVA
