Infarct volume and functional outcome measures in middle aged and young adult SD rats. A Infarct volume, 7 days following 90 min transient proximal MCAO in young adult male (YAM), middle-aged male (MAM) and middle-aged female (MAF) SD rats. B Representative brain slices, per cohort, following 1% TTC staining 7 days after transient MCAO. Black star indicate infarcted hemisphere per slice. C Body weight change from baseline. D Grip strength change from baseline. E Adhesive removal time. F Vibrissae score on the impaired side. Data presented as Mean ± SD; *p < 0.05
