Physiologic parameters before (preocclusion) and after (postocclusion) permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (PMCAO) between animals pretreated with magnolol versus vehicle (PEG 400)-treated controls.

Physiologic data obtained from control and pre-treated animal groups are represented as the mean±standard deviation (SD). Hct – hematocrit; Gluc - blood glucose; MABP - mean arterial blood pressure; HR - heart rate; n – number of animals. All animals were maintained at 37±0.5°C. Paired Students’ t tests were used to evaluate the response to a change in conditions, and one-way Analysis of Variance (one-way ANOVA) with Dunnett’s posthoc comparison was used to evaluate differences between groups. The symbol * and † mean P0.05, compared to preischemic and control data, respectively.
