Figure 7.
The levels of IDO enzyme in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex by surgical types and LPS administrations (n = 6). (A) IDO levels in the hippocampus, (B) IDO levels in the cerebral cortex. * indicates p < 0.05 versus BCCAL + saline and # indicates p < 0.05 versus BCCAL + LPS. Values are expressed in mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Abbreviations: IDO: indoleamine 2,3-deoxygenase; HP: hippocampus; CC: cerebral cortex; BCCAL: bilateral common carotid artery ligation; LPS: lipopolysaccharide.
