Abstract excerpt
The consequences of cerebral ischemia were studied in three different strains (BDF, CFW, and BALB/C) of mice. The different strains exhibited significant differences in susceptibility to 24-h focal ischemia. Following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), infarct volumes (mm3) were 5 +/- 3 in...
