A: Graphical representation of the percentage of brain area lost in the affected hemisphere with respect to the contralateral hemisphere by experimental group (global), and by group and gender (Male, Female) B: Graphical representation of the hippocampal volume in the affected hemisphere by experimental group (global), and by group and gender (male, female) ST: Sham-treated; HI: Hypoxic-ischemic, HIA: Hypoxic-ischemic allopurinol, HIH: Hypoxic-ischemic hypothermia, HIHA: Hypoxic-ischemic hypothermia allopurinol. Volume areas are expressed in arbitrary units. * Significant differences p<0.05.
