Abstract

To show the accuracy of 2, 3, 5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining method, in a case-control study, 10 rats were divided into two groups, an ischemia-induced (experimental) and a control group. The brains of both groups were stained with the new method. The complete staining of the brain of all rats in the control group confirmed the efficacy of this method. Besides, in the experimental group, the method distinguished between the viable and dead tissues and could demonstrate the borders and the size of the infarction too.
