Serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) concentrations (ng/mL)
| Groups | 8 h | 12 h | 24 h | 48 h |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control group | 2.55 | 2.02 | 1.81 | |
| I/R group | 9.98±0.63 | 11.95±0.34 | 10.40±0.77 | 8.17±0.78 |
| Ast group | 5.28±0.35* | 6.53±0.57* | 8.49±0.46* | 6.29±0.99* |
↵* The differences among rats in the I/R group, Ast group, and control group are significant (F=22.329, p<0.01). Furthermore, the NSE levels were significantly higher in the I/R group, compared with the Ast group, at each time point (F=38.646, p<0.01), h - hours, I/R - ischemia-reperfusion
