Figure 3From: Cardiotonic pill attenuates white matter and hippocampal damage via inhibiting microglial activation and downregulating ERK and p38 MAPK signaling in chronic cerebral hypoperfused rat Effects of CP on hippocampal levels of inflammatory mediators in chronic BCCAo rats. (A) Representative western blot of COX-2, IL-1β, and IL-6. (B) The levels of inflammatory mediators (COX-2, IL-1β, and IL-6) were increased in the BCCAo + Vehicle group (n = 8), compared to the sham-control group (n = 8,*). CP administration (n = 8) attenuated the increased levels of hippocampal inflammatory mediators induced by chronic BCCAo (#).Back to article page
