Figure 5

Extravasation differences between groups on the constricted side. When compared with results in naive animals fed the same diet, the changes in CAP-induced extravasation generated by the CCI had opposite directions, depending on the diet. In animals fed RD, the values of plasma extravasation increased significantly (p = 0.043) after surgery. This increase was most marked at 8 dps (* p = 0.017), and more moderate at 26 dps (showing statistical tendency, p = 0.052). In contrast, in animals fed MD the extravasation decreased with respect to naive animals, and this decrease showed statistical tendency at 26 dps (p = 0.056). No significant differences were found in lesioned rats on the side of the CCI between RD and MD groups at any of the postsurgical times tested. Data represent means Ā± SD; number of cases as in Fig. 4.
