Comparison of neuroprotective efficacy of poly-arginine R18 and R18D (D-enantiomer) peptides following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion in the Wistar rat and in vitro toxicity studies

Adhesive tape test measurements 24-hours after permanent MCAO.
Treatment groups are vehicle (saline), R18 and R18D (300 nmol/kg). Time (sec = seconds) to detect tape, time to remove tape and number of attempts to remove tape. Values are mean ± SD; n = 8–10. Maximum time allowed for adhesive tape removal was 120 seconds.
