  1. aThese animals were evaluated by ERG and sacrificed for histopathological studies, namely cresyl violet, ChAT and vimentin/GFAP labelings. Subtotally, 68 animals were used. Pre−/post-ischemia oral gavage of 0.5 g/kg/day (DNL0.5 + I/R), 1.0 g/kg/day of DNL (DNL1.0 + I/R; I/R + DNL1.0), or the same volume of vehicle was given (Vehicle+I/R; I/R + Vehicle). Abbreviations: ChAT choline acetyltransferase, GFAP glial fibrillary acidic protein
