Rattus norvegicus brain tissue samples: Sham-operated vs. Remote limb postconditioning (PostC) and Sham-operated vs. transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). Rattus norvegicus brain tissue samples: Sham-operated vs. Remote limb postconditioning (PostC) and Sham-operated vs. transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO)

Transcriptional profiling of miRNAs from rat brain tissues comparing controls (Sham) with ischemic rats (tMCAO) and neuroprotected rats (RLIP) Internal normalization: ischemic core vs. periischemic and ANOVA comparison across three experimental conditions: Sham, tMCAO and RLIP Overall design: Three-conditions experiment, Sham vs. tMCAO-PostC tissue samples. Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 tMCAO, 3 PostC from 9 different rats. One replicate per array.
