Effects of the transplanted vascular cells on the CBF in the ipsilateral side. A-C: LDPI analysis of the CBF by LDPI evaluated in mice with the scalp removed (A). Flowmetric analysis of the CBF in the ipsilateral side (= left side: lt) during MCA-occlusion (B). The CBF in the ipsilateral and contralateral side in the five groups on day 4 and 28 after MCAo (C). An arrow indicates the lesion in the hES-EC+MC-injected group where the CBF clearly increased up to or rather than the corresponding area in the contralateral side. Red or white indicates higher flow than blue or green. D, Quantitative analysis of the CBF ratio of the ipsilateral/contralateral side just before the experiments (= day 0) and on day 4 and 28 after MCAo. * P < 0.05, † P < 0.01.
