Neurological function assessment was performed at 24 h after I/R as described previously on a five-point scale system as follows: 0, no neurological deficit; 1, failure to extend left forepaw fully; 2, circling to contralateral side; 3, falling towards contralateral side; 4, no spontaneous walking with a depressed level of consciousness (Longa et al.

Role of matrix metalloproteinase activity in the neurovascular protective effects of angiotensin antagonism
Using blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional MRI (fMRf) to determine neuronal activity following forepaw or hindpaw stimulation, MPC-treated animals showed a significant increase in neuronal activity compared with conlrols in both the infarct area (p less than 0.01) and in the primary motor cortex on the side of the infarct (p less than 0.05).

Using blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional MRI (fMRI) to determine neuronal activity following forepaw or hindpaw stimulation, MPC-treated animals showed a significant increase in neuronal activity compared with controls in both the infarct area (p less than 0.01) and in the primary motor cortex on the side of the infarct (p less than 0.05).
