Abstract
-
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Woohwangcheongsim-won on reperfusion following the MCA occlusion in rats. To evaluate the effect of Woohwangcheongsim-won on reperfusion following the MCA occlusion, the volume of cerebral ischemia and edema was measured. The volume of the control group, which was ischemic-damaged was 23.6%, and that of the sample group was 13.5%. The voluminal ratio of the right/left hemisphere was 116 in the control group, and that of the sample group was 107.
