Figure 2

Expression of UCP-2 in CA1 area of hippocampus (confocal microscope images of UCP2 staining by indirect immunohistochemistry) as observed with sc6525 (A, B, C, D) anti-UCP2 (C-terminal antibody). A, control; B, I/R; C, IPC+I/R; D, IPC. NC, negative control obtained in the absence of the anti-UCP2. Scale bar = 30 μm. E: Bar graph of results of UCP-2 immunofluorescence (sc6525 images) in the CA1 pyramidal layer, expressed as average intensity after subtraction of background fluorescence (mean ± S.E.M, n = 4 animals). Significant differences were determined by repeated measures ANOVA plus Tukey's test. * P < 0.05 compared to all other groups.
