Figure 4

Immunohistochemical staining for CD105 demonstrated the presence of significantly more active microvessels in stroke regions of rats treated with citicoline following MCAO. Treatment with citicoline significantly increased the number of CD105-positive microvessels in the peri-infarcted and infarcted regions following transient rat MCAO after 21 days. The figure shows citicoline-treated animals (top row) versus saline treated controls (bottom row). Sections were immunohistochemically stained and developed using DAB (brown). Arrows point to CD105-positively stained microvessels which were consistently more numerous in each animal studied following citicoline treatment (n = 3; p = 0.021).
