S100B and ischemic stroke: The oral administration of α-asarone to an MCAO-induced mouse model of ischaemic stroke significantly increased the number of neuronal nuclei (NeuN)-immunoreactive cells and decreased the number of S100 calcium-binding protein β (S100β)-immunoreactive cells, resulting in greater-than-additive effects on sensorimotor function and motor balance, based on analyses of corner and rotarod behavioural tests [26].
