Table 1. Effect of ACG on MCAO/R-induced behavioral deficits in rats

Group	Dose (mg/kg)	Neurological score	Rotarod duration (s)
Vehicle	-	2.5 ± 0.3	54.5 ± 6.8
ACG	10	1.8 ± 0.2	89.7 ± 12.7
ACG	25	1.2 ± 0.2**	122.2 ± 18.3*
ACG	50	1.2 ± 0.2**	141.2 ± 10.5**

After MCAO/R, neurological status and rotarod duration of the animals used in Fig. 1 were evaluated. Five categories of neurological finding were scored: 0, no apparent deficits; 1, contralateral forelimb flection; 2, decreased grip of contralateral forelimb; 3, contralateral circling of pulled by tail; 4, spontaneous contralateral circling.
Values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. obtained from 5 to 6 rats.
p<0.05 vs. vehicle,
p<0.01 vs. vehicle.
MCAO/R, middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion.
