Fig. 2From: Transcriptome profiling revealed early vascular smooth muscle cell gene activation following focal ischemic stroke in female rats – comparisons with malesDifferentially expressed gene distributions in the occluded and non-occluded middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) from female rats. Volcano plots illustrating distributions of the differentially expressed genes in the occluded and non-occluded MCAs both compared with control MCAs, and in the occluded MCAs compared with the non-occluded MCAs from female rats. Similar Volcano plots for male stroke rats can be found in the publication by Grell et al. [20] (please notice the difference in rat strain and microarray run)Back to article page
