Daily maximal angle animals could cling to an inclined plane for 8 sham-operated rats (□), 8 vehicle-treated MCAO-injured rats (▨), and 8 agmatine-treated MCAO-injured rats (▩). *Maximal grip angle 2-4 days after MCAO was significantly (P < 0.05) decreased for MCAO-injured animals treated with an i.v. dose of normal saline (1 mL/kg) compared with sham controls. †Maximal grip angle 2-4 days after MCAO injury was significantly (P < 0.05) increased for MCAO-injured animals treated with an i.v. dose of agmatine (100 mg/kg) compared with vehicle controls.
