Brain expression of CTRP9 and neurological function evaluation after nasal administration of rCTRP9 at 24 h post-ICH. a Representative western blot images and quantitative analyses of CTRP9. Nasal administration of rCTRP9 increased the expression level of CTRP9 in naïve mice and ICH mice at 24 h post-ICH. b Modified Garcia test, c forelimb placement test, and d corner turn test showed that nasal administration of rCTRP9 improved neurological function at 24 h post-ICH. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 vs. naive group; #p < 0.05 vs. ICH group; N = 6
