Daily percentage of maximal possible effect (%MPE) of proprioception blockade by 8 sham-operated rats (□), 8 vehicle-treated MCAO-injured rats (▨), and 8 agmatine-treated MCAO-injured rats (▩).*The percent of MPE 2-4 days after MCAO injury was significantly (P < 0.05) increased for MCAO-injured animals treated with an i.v. dose of normal saline (1 mL/kg) compared with MCAO sham controls. †The percentage of MPE 2-4 days after MCAO injury was significantly decreased for MCAO-injured animals treated with an i.v. dose of agmatine (100 mg/kg) compared with vehicle controls.
