Figure 3

(a) 18FDG-PET images of activity of cerebral ischemic regions of the glucose metabolism. Sham group (sham), cerebral ischemia-reperfusion untreated group (CIRU), scutellarin 50 mg/Kg group (Scu-50), scutellarin 25 mg/Kg group (Scu-25), and nimodipine 10 mg/Kg group (nimodipine) in days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 respectively. (b) Ratios of cortex to cerebellum in different regions in the brain of the glucose metabolism sham group (sham), cerebral ischemia-reperfusion untreated group (CIRU), scutellarin 50 mg/Kg group (Scu-50), scutellarin 25 mg/Kg group (Scu-25), and nimodipine 10 mg/Kg group (nimodipine) in days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28, respectively.
