UV-B irradiation reduces the neuroprotective effects of RF in a rat model cerebral ischemia. (A) TTC staining after 24 h reperfusion of single coronal brain section treated with either RF or UV-B-RF before MCAO. (B, C) Effect of pretreatment with vehicle, RF and UV-B-RF on infarct volume (mm3) and Edema volume (mm3) calculated from image-J analysis software. (D) Total neurological deficit score was evaluated to see neurological impairment after 1 to 28 days successive treatment. Statistical significance was analyzed by ANOVA. Values are the mean ± SEM.*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 vs. RF treated and control group.
