Luoyutong Treatment Promotes Functional Recovery and Neuronal Plasticity after Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats

Figure 3

LYT (Luoyutong) reduces neuronal apoptosis and decreases the level of caspase-3. (a) Neuronal apoptosis in the ipsilateral cortex was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling and 4′ 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole double staining 14 days after ischemic reperfusion. (b) Expression of activated caspase-3 was detected by Western blot 14 days after ischemic reperfusion. . versus Sham and versus MCAO.
