Fig. 1. Effects of different temperatures and duration of incubation of rat brain slices in 1 % TTC solution on visualization of ischemic injury 5 hours after the occlusion. The pictures show brain slices obtained from a Wistar rat with the occluded middle cerebral artery. One slice was stained at room temperature, another — at 37 °С. Samples were photographed at set time intervals. Anesthetic used: Zoletil/Rometar
Fig. 2. Effects of different anesthetics on the scope of ischemic injury in rats with the permanently occluded middle cerebral artery (5 hours after the occlusion). Brain slices were incubated under identical conditions in 1 % TTC solution for 30 min at 37 °С
Fig. 3. Brain slices of rats anesthetized with different drugs 24 hours after the induced permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. The slices were incubated under identical conditions in 1 % TTC solution for 30 min at 37 °С
