Figure 1From: Green tea polyphenols alleviate early BBB damage during experimental focal cerebral ischemia through regulating tight junctions and PKCalpha signaling Effects of GTPs on BBB permeability at the early stage of cerebral ischemia were assessed by Evans blue dye leakage. Experiment groups are saline-treated (vehicle) groups and GTPs-treated groups at the time points of 0, 30, 60, and 120 min after ischemia, respectively. (A) representative images of brain sections in the groups of ischemia and GTPs-treated groups of ischemia at 120 min. (B) Evans blue content is expressed as a fold increase relative to the vehicle group of ischemia at 0 min. Data are given as the means ± SD (n = 8, each). ** P < 0.01 vs. vehicle group of ischemia 0 min. ## P < 0.01 vs. vehicle group at the same time points.Back to article page
