Figure 6From: Both ischemic preconditioning and ghrelin administration protect hippocampus from ischemia/reperfusion and upregulate uncoupling protein-2Effects of various treatments on UCP-2 mRNA expression in IPC experiments. A: RT-PCR of UCP-2 mRNA in the hippocampal preparations in Control, I/R, IPC+I/R and IPC groups. B: Bar graph of mean results (± SEM) of RT-PCR determinations of UCP-2 mRNA in hippocampal preparations, expressed relative to the quantity of β-actin mRNA (=100%). n = 6 animals. Significant differences were determined by repeated measures ANOVA plus Tukey's test. *** P < 0.001 compared to all other groups; # P < 0.05 compared to CON group.Back to article page
