When adjusted for post-hoc comparisons, a significant stroke-induced upregulation in GFAP+ve expression was reported in the IL region of vehicle- (238,363 ± 79,138; p = 0.0124) and compound A-treated stroke animals (252,392 ± 117,482; p = 0.0042), relative to vehicle-treated shams (114,896 ± 54,225). This evidence concerns the gene GFAP and stroke disorder.
