Scatter plot between individual levels of BDNF in plasma (ng/mL) and brains (mg/g) that were simultaneously measured 4 h, 24 h, and 8 d after embolization in the “stroke 4 h”, “stroke 24 h”, and “stroke 8 d” groups (10 rats per group), respectively, r_s = Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.

<p>Scatter plot between individual levels of BDNF in plasma (ng/mL) and brains (mg/g) that were simultaneously measured 4 h, 24 h, and 8 d after embolization in the “stroke 4 h”, “stroke 24 h”, and “stroke 8 d” groups (10 rats per group), respectively, r_s = Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.</p

Plasma BDNF levels after stroke.

<p>A) BDNF levels were serially measured before and 4 h, 24 h, 8 d after embolization in the “stroke 8 d” group (n = 10), B) Scatter plot between individual BDNF levels and degree of cerebral embolization according to the time of measurement of BDNF levels after embolization. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, BE = before embolization, r_s = Spearman's rank correlation coefficient</p

Brain BDNF levels after stroke.

<p>A) brain was collected in control rats (empty bars, 7 rats) and in the “stroke 4 h”, “stroke 24 h”, and “stroke 8 d” groups (dashed bars, 10 rats per group), B). Scatter plot between levels of BDNF in individual brains and degree of cerebral embolization. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, * significantly different from control rats (p<0.016), r_s = Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.</p

Serum BDNF after stroke.

<p>A) BDNF levels were serially measured before and 4 h, 24 h, 8 d after embolization in the “stroke 8 d_s” group (n = 10), B) Scatter plot between individual BDNF levels and degree of cerebral embolization according to the time of measurement of BDNF levels after embolization. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, BE = before embolization, r_s = Spearman's rank correlation coefficient</p
