We observed a marked increase in p75NTR expression at day 5 in sucrose post-ischemia brains compared to EtOH post-ischemia and sham cortex (9.75 ± 2.5) brains, which was most pronounced in area 1 (50–125 mm from core) in which the fluorescence intensity was almost halved in the EtOH post-ischemia mice brains compared to sucrose post-ischemia (Fig. 6b). Here, NGFR is linked to ischemia.
