Figure 2From: The effect of Lycium barbarum on spinal cord injury, particularly its relationship with M1 and M2 macrophage in rats Effect of LBP on GFAP expression in primary astrocyte. Astrocyte stimulated with TNFα + IFNγ + LPS displayed hypertrophic appearance (C) and higher GFAP expression (E, F), compared to the vehicle group (A). Cells treated with LBP (B) or LBP plus TNFα + IFNγ + LPS (D) showed no difference in staining intensity (E) and GFAP level (F), versus the corresponding controls, respectively (A, C). Bar = 50 μm.Back to article page
