In the injured cortex (top), bcl-xL decreased 30−40% in both models. In the hippocampus (bottom), bcl-xL mRNA decreased in a biphasic manner after LCI (solid squares), while high variation after LFP (circles) obscured possible changes. Relative mRNA levels (mean ± SEM) are the mole percent of cyclophilin mRNA, normalized to sham controls. Ipsilateral: solids, Contralateral: stripes. *p<0.05 vs. shams, ANOVA, Dunnett.
