Fig. 7From: Gastrodia and Uncaria (tianma gouteng) water extract exerts antioxidative and antiapoptotic effects against cerebral ischemia in vitro and in vivoSprague Dawley rats showed recovery of neurological and locomotor function after receiving GUW treatment. a Daily neurological deficit score measurement of different groups. Neurological deficit score was measured and recorded on day 1, 3, 5, 7 after MCAO surgery. MCAO control group received distilled water as vehicle. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, vs control group by one way ANOVA (n = 10). b Results of beam walking test after brain injury. After MCAO operation, rats receiving either vehicle or GUW showed significantly longer latencies to across the beam compared to sham-injured rats. At first 3 days treatment, the time to cross beam of GUW group was shorter time than the MCAO group significantly. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, vs sham group and vs MCAO group, by one way ANOVA (n = 10)Back to article page
