Left cerebral blood flow (CBF) (a) and right cerebral blood flow (b) as percentage of baseline value; mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) in mmHg (c); heart rate (HR) in beats per minute (d). The courses of left CBF, right CBF, MAP, and HR did not differ between tMCAO Ar and tMCAO N2 groups. B = baseline, 5 min after tail artery catheter insertion, time point 0 = tMCAO induction, time point 120 = start of reperfusion, time point 180 = gas application (50% vol N2/50% vol O2 for tMCAO N2 group, 50% vol Argon/50% vol O2 for tMCAO Ar group). Data were extracted in 10-min intervals. Results were represented as mean ± SD, n = 8 for tMCAO Ar group and n = 7 for tMCAO N2 group
