PE alleviates demyelination of rats subjected to MCAO. A, B Representative images of degraded myelin basic protein in corpus callosum (C–C) and striatum of rats prior to exercise (× 40 objective). C, D Comparisons of the integrated optical density in C–C and striatum of each group prior to exercise. E, F Representative images of dMBP in C–C and striatum of rats 35 days after stroke (× 40 objective). G, H Comparisons of the integrated optical density in C–C and striatumin of each group 35 days after stroke. One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc tests. Each dataset is expressed as mean ± SD for n = 6. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001
